How much protein should I be trying to stick to each day with such a diet?



Based on a high protein bar wrapper the RDA is 50g (based on 70% of RDA
being 35g.)


Yup, the recommendation is based on body weight though so YMMV

US RDA is 0.36 grams for every pound of body weight. So if you weigh 150
pounds:
..36 * 150 = 54 grams of protein per day

WHO recommends .45 grams/kg of protein. Since 150 pounds is aboug 68
kg, 68 * .45 = 30.6 grams of protein per day to meet WHO guidelines
