How does a vegen obtain his/her protein?!
Answers: Other than beans, what other plant or vegetable will help provide the daily protein requirement of an adult? I don't think a person would want to eat beans every day, if you know what I mean.
Vegans get their protein from beans, rice, bread, corn, soy products, etc. There is some protein in almost everything a vegetarian/vegan eats, just in smaller amounts. Eating a varied diet during the day provides more than enough protein needed to thrive.
I was taught that getting too much protein is immoral.
Supplements such as those weightlifters like to use. A good source of protein. Fattening though.
supplements plus fruits
Food.
My father, who has a PH.D, said that if you drink soy milk rather than cow milk, it's better. There also is no cholesterol or hormones added. Of course, plain soy milk tastes horrible, so you should drink sweetened soy milk.
Chickpeas are a very good source of protein. You can make hummous. Very edible and easy.
Soya protein is good to have as well. Try some nice types of tofu. You could also try soya milks and "yoghurts".
Nuts and seeds have alot of protein. Try introducing them into your everyday food.
Pulses such as lentils also have great levels of protein and also iron.
Cereals such as wheat, oats and rice also contain protein.
It is a common fallacy however that people need lots of protein.
Proteins are essential for growth and repair but excess protein in the diet may lead to health problems.
A vegetarian/vegan diet is often considered healthiest because of the fact that it contains just the right amount of protein without excess.
Fruits and vegetables contain proteins. For example, "One cup of green beans or peas and carrots contains a bit over two grams of protein. One big apple has about one half of one gram of protein and one cup of orange sections has a bit more than one gram of protein." (See source, below.)
BTW, beans have unpleasant side effects ONLY until a body gets used to them ... a few days.
Nearly every food has protein in and it's actually close to impossible to develop a protein deficiency if you eat a balanced diet. Wholegrains (pasta, bread, rice and cereal), tofu, green vegetables, nuts, soy milk, seeds and pulses are all great sources of protein. If you eat a balanced vegan diet then you don't really have to think about getting enough protein because it's in most foods.
Many vegetables have protein. Nuts are good too.
Just as a side note, most Americans get way too much protein.

Other than beans there are nuts, and fruits like avocados that contain a lot of protein. You could make a vegan burrito for a snack and that would be healthy. Some vegetables have protein as well but some don't have enough.
For me i've always eaten Lentils and Rice... Lentils contain just about all protein amino acids in them, rice however contain the amino acids that lentils dont. So combining both of them, create a full protein meal...
200g Lentils
100g Rice
That there will give you a whole days worth of protein, containing every amino acid your body needs.
However its not very tasty though lol so it takes time to get used to it, which is why i add either vinegar or soy sauce ^^
100g Lentils
50g Rice
The measurements above will give you enough protein with the rest of the food that you eat during the day.
You can get protein from a lot of things without eating beans every day; but it's better if you eat a variety of different grains and vegetables and not eat the same ones all the time. Nuts are a pretty good source of protein. I don't think very many fruits contain much--but they are very good for other nutrients.

There is protein in practically everything. We get our protein from soybeans and soy foods (tofu, tempeh, tvp, edamame, faux meats,) beans and other legumes (lentils, chickpeas, peas, peanuts,) whole grains, nuts and seeds, fruits and veggies (especially dark green veggies,) even mushrooms have protein. Anyone eating a varied, balanced diet with enough calories is getting plenty of protein.
