What's a good vegetable substitute for protien?!
Answers: i'm looking for vegetables loaded with protien and fiber. i know beans have a lot of protien but i want more options that just that.
Good vegetarian protein sources include: almonds, black beans, brown rice, cashews, garbanzo beans (chickpeas), kidney beans, lentils, lima beans, peanut butter, pinto beans, seitan, soybeans, soymilk, sunflower seeds, textured vegetable protein (TVP), tofu, and faux meats (such as veggie burgers).
chick peas are one
tofu, milk, soya milk, egg, peanuts, cheese etc are other vegetairan sources
Here is a list of good sources of protien, the page also explains what protein is and why we need it.

Tofu and tempeh.
Tofu (soy beans) is very versatile! Is absorbs flavor and just tastes like whatever you cook it in. Give it a try if you haven't already!

Fresh green soybeans, called edamame (eh-dah-MAH-meh), have a naturally sweet taste that works well in many recipes. They are sold shelled and unshelled, fresh or frozen. Try shelled beans in place of green peas in salads and entrees. Steam unshelled ones and sprinkle them with salt for a starter or snack, as a number of New York City restaurants are now doing.
Black or tan soybeans are sold in cans (and sometimes dried) in natural-food stores and supermarkets. We really like the black ones in any dish calling for black beans, such as tortilla wraps, soup, and rice and beans. All soybeans are an excellent source of protein, folic acid, and fiber, and they are very low in artery-clogging saturated fat.
How to Make:
Edamame
Think the words "healthy food" are code for "bland and boring"? Think again. This good-for-you gourmet recipe from the Culinary Institute of America is so sumptuous and simple, you'll never settle for less than healthy fare again.
INGREDIENTS
1 pound(s) frozen edamame, in shells
salt as needed
DIRECTIONS
1. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the beans and return to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook until tender, about 5 to 6 minutes.
2. Season with salt and serve hot or at room temperature.
TIPS & TECHNIQUES
To eat as finger food, serve the beans in baskets or bowls. Squeeze the pods with your fingers to press the beans into your mouth, then discard the pods.
