Answers:
baked beans hava lot of protein!. have a yoghurt, fruit and a packet of nuts for lunch!. for dinner have carrots with cabbage, brocolli, spinach and a mashed potato with a veg burger if ya like, very good for you!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I agree tofu is not that good!. Here are a few things I make for myself:
Bean Salad:
combine one can black beans, one can garbanzo beans, half can whole beets(cut up),and two baby cucumbers(also cut up)!. Keep in sealed container for about 1 and a half weeks!.
Each time you grab a helping drizzle with balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with feta cheese!. Yum!
You can make pasta and add some sauteed veggies!. Quesidillas with tomato and black beans!. The possibilites are endless!. Look up some yummy recipies at kraftfoods!.com and seach vegetarian!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I was once a teenager and a vegetarian!. I had little money, little kitchen time, and few cooking skills!.
My staple was basic spaghetti!. Over time I learned some tricks to make it taste much, much better, and so I will share it here!.
Upgrade from dry pasta in a box to fresh pasta, found in the refrigerator section of your grocer!. It costs a little more, but oh my God it is so worth it!. Later, I actually got a pasta maker for Christmas, and then I would make several pounds and freeze it in individual portions!.
You can upgrade the tomato sauce, too!. First, you can use store-bought, but I'd recommend avoiding any that contain tomato paste--they taste kind of sour to me!. The ones that are only made of tomatoes or tomato sauce are a little more runny in the jar, but they taste much better!. They taste even better if you toss in a couple diced roma tomatoes, chopped green peppers, and/or mushrooms!.
With these simple upgrades, my cheap and easy staple dish got much tastier! Good luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com
