Answers:
Vegetarians eat animal produce such as honey, eggs, cheese and other dairy!.
Vegans don't eat any of the above!. But good protein sources for vegans are meals that incorporate grains and beans (beans on toast for example), pulses, soy, quinoa etc!. You need to eat these sorts of things together to give you the complimentary proteins that will then build the other missing amino acids!.
Pasta with a sauce made with soy mince for example would give you protein!.
