Probably not ... your body will probably change and you'll have to change your habits with it. Vegetable proteins may not help you build up your muscles, but the vitamins they contain will help prevent the damage you are doing through excessive exercise and the fibre's will help move all that protein through your insides to prevent it sticking around and causing cancer.
But having lots of muscles doesn't make one healthy either ... I think comparing poo is more effective than comparing muscle mass where the 'health' test is concerned! LOL
Bottom line though is what the hell would I know about your body and your health?! We're all just doing what feels best for our own bodies ...

I probably eat an 8-10 portion of red meat maybe 3-4 times a week for dinner. The rest split between salmon and chicken.
Protein doesn't stick around anywhere, because I drink a ton of water and do a lot of cardio exercise. My muscles need a lot of fuel for repair, and that's where the proteins go.
I do eat a lot of potatoes, without butter or crap of course, just plain baked potatoes because they're a complex carbohyrdate with a low glycemic value.
