Most foods contain at least some protein!. Good sources of protein for vegetarians include nuts and seeds, pulses, soya products (tofu, soya milk and textured soya protein such as soya mince), cereals (wheat, oats, and rice), free-range eggs and some dairy products (milk, cheese and yogurt)!.

if he's eating milk, eggs, cheese, beans, tofu, nuts, etc!. along with a variety of fruits veggies and grains it sounds to me like he is getting more than enough protein!. if you really want to track, it for a week or so, keep track of portions and how many grams of protein and take the info to a nutritionist or find info online (i can tell you how much an adult needs, but a child, i don't know)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It sounds like he is getting adequate protein!. Eggs and beans are both great sources of protein!. Just make sure he has a variety of such foods, as you need a mix of them to supplement what you would normally get from meat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
He is a vegetarian, he's not a vegan!. Vegetarians eat milk and eggs!. How do you not know that!? You are the mother of a 7 year old who is vegetarian and you know nothing about the diet!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
