At least 80g of protein a day, blood tests and doc thinks I need more?

OK, so I have been good at making sure I get enough Protein in. I average between 80-100g a day.

I had my annual blood work done a few weeks early and the docs office left me a message yesterday telling me up my protein intake. Anyone know what could come up on a blood test to show them this or how it could be that 80-100g is not enough? I'm confused, that's how much they told me to eat in my manual and I've been trying to follow it everyday!

I can barely get 30 in!!! How do you get 80 - 100?!?

I've always had a problem with Protein...I'm veggie, but I try to limit my soy cause I'm not sure about these little claims about too much Soy.

Each of my three meals has protein, a turkey burger patty has 19g, my Protein shake has 22g, whatever meat I have always has around 20g of protein for a portion and then I always have a cottage cheese snack in the afternoon to get in the additional 20 give or take that I need. Some days are better than others though due to sometimes getting stuck, etc.
