Where do you get protein instead of meat?!
Answers: since i've just started, i'd like to know where to get it..i know it's hidden in all kinds of food, i just know nuts, and yogurt...
Protein is far easier to get than the beef lobby would have you believe!
You'll find protein in soybeans and soy foods (including tofu, tempeh, tvp, edamame and faux meats,) beans and other legumes (lentils, peas, peanuts, chickpeas,) whole grains (quinoa is not only a complete protein, but a good source of iron and calcium,) nuts and seeds, vegetables (especially dark green veggies,) fruits, mushrooms... and, since you're keeping them in your diet, dairy and eggs.
True protein deficiency is almost unheard of in the Western world. If you're taking in enough calories to meet your energy needs and you're not subsisting on junk food, you are almost certainly getting enough.
Fish, beans, nuts, i dont know anymore...
Beans, Beans the magical fruit . . .
Fish & nuts
Beans, eggs, nuts, yogurt, oatmeal.
eggs and jambajuice hehehaha
instead of drinking normal milk try soy milk its rich in protein theres also alot of different kinds of protein powders for vegans
Beans, cheese, milk & milk products, soy products. Potatoes are fairly high in protein too. People in the Andes have been living on mostly potatoes for centuries.
You also get proteins from most vegetables. The thing is though that you do not get a "complete" protein that contains all of the amino acids. If you want to rely on vegetables for protein then you need to eat two different ones together - so beans & bread from whole wheat or cornmeal or a slice of corn bread and a glass of milk.
Good vegetarian sources of protein include almonds, black beans, brown rice, cashews, faux meats, garbanzo beans (chickpeas), kidney beans, lentils, lima beans, peanut butter, pinto beans, seitan, soybeans, soymilk, sunflower seeds, textured vegetable protein (TVP), and tofu. Good luck!
Technically, everything has protein in it. It's one of the components of cells, both animal and plant. But tofu or beancurd is very good, and nuts, dairy products, eggs, any kind of beans, soya milk, mushrooms, seeds, peas, grains, etc. If you're not going vegan, you don't need supplements. Generally the food labels should tell you.
Quinoa rocks. It is a full protein. If you mix lentils and rice, you get a whole protein.
I try and make sure I get some at evry meal. Some peanut butter and whole wheat bread in the morning, or Oatmeal, or Protein cereal with rice milk.
I eat quinoa for lunch/brown rice or w.w. pasta.
I love rice and beans mixed up (gallo pinto).
I don't worry too much about it because I know most people get too much. If you eat cheese and eggs, you probably don't have to worry about it, but if you are, go have your blood checked.
:)
cottage cheese, pinto beans, all kinds of legumes, nuts, yogurt, cheese, texturized vegetable protein, tofu, soy, whey and or soy protein powders make great smoothies when mixed with fruit and yogurt, edamame. There's a lot of options, you just have to experiment.
I'm not vegetarian, however, I found this site that is very informative about the different sources of protein for veggies....good luck...hope it helps

soy protein in soy product such as tofu,tempeh,soy milk.
Rich sources of protein include eggs and milk if u can eat these food.
If u cannot eat eggs and milk,soy protein and legumes all the ways please.
Vegans don't eat fish!Fish is meat too.
If u are lacto-intolerance,you can consume other dairy products such as yougurt,yougurt drink,cheese,live culture drink .
Beans, nuts & seeds, tofu, soy products, TVP (textured vegetable protein), seitan (wheat gluten)... go in any store and you'll likely find a wide range of products like veggie burgers, soy meat balls, mock deli slices, these are all packed with protein!
Food.
Really, as Mockingbird pointed out, as long as you get enough calories, and as long as they're not junk food, it's almost impossible NOT to get enough protein. According to an article I read in The New York Times, most Americans get about 110 grams of protein a day, 75 of them from meat. Unless you're an athlete, you could probably do fine on 30 grams a day.
And you also don't need to combine proteins either. Frances Moore Lappe made that error in the first edition of "Diet for a Small Planet," but later realized her error and has since corrected it. So you don't have to have beans and rice. You can have beans at lunch and a rice dish at dinner and be perfectly fine.
