Quinoa is the ONLY grain in the world that has complete proteins!. I am not vegan but I like quinoa!. Eat quinoa when its available in the house!. They could be eating tons of quinoa!. And lots of nuts!. If you consume nuts, wheat and some other grain then you eventually consume enough amino acids available from each to create a complete protein when you digest everything!. I read this somewhere!. There are vegan bodybuilders!. They have lesser physiques than regular bodybuilders but they get some kind of results none the less!. And for an average person thats all they strive for!.

Very few vegans will ever experience a protein deficiency!. Most foods have at least some proteins, and plenty of vegan foods (nuts, beans, lentils, etc) have as much protein as meat if not more!.
Plenty of athletes are vegan!. Here are some neat site's if you're interested!.

Vegan Athletes!.!.!. How do you get your Protein!?
By Robert Cheeke, Elite Vegan Bodybuilder January 7th, 2007
If there is one question vegans get more than any other question, it is, "How do you get your protein!?" I often respond by asking the individual if they know anyone with a protein deficiency!. One thing to remember is that protein is found in nearly all foods and is one of the easiest components of nutrition for our bodies to find in food and use for mechanical functions!. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and are abundant in fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains and other vegan foods!. Eating a wide variety of healthy foods supplies all essential amino acids which is necessary for optimum health!.
Vegans take in all required vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, and glucose!. We eat a wide variety of healthy foods including fruits and vegetables, grains, beans, legumes, nuts, seeds, and other plant-based whole foods providing the healthiest foods for our bodies!.
As a vegan bodybuilder, I enjoy typical bodybuilding foods such as oats, rice, broccoli, yams, protein powders and bars, providing energy and strength for exercise and the heavy lifting my sport requires!. I take a few supplements to enhance my athletic performance but I don't believe they are necessary to consume and compete as an elite athlete!. They can help give you an extra competitive edge and can aid in muscle recovery and energy output!. The few supplements I use for performance include: multivitamin, meal replacement powders, L-glutamine for muscle recovery, and hemp-based protein powders!. Vitamin B-12 and essential fatty acids are included in a hemp-based meal replacement I take!. It is important to remember these are not necessary, but in most cases they will boost performance and recovery from exercise, achieving an overall greater level of fitness and health!.
Many people are scared to adopt a vegan diet because they think they will lack protein, but protein is easy to find and little is required for maintaining health!. A standard is 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight for athletes and 1!.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight for bodybuilders and other athletes interested in bulking up and adding mass!.
they lift weights the same way as everyone else!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

whey protein, nuts, beans, and many plants!.
also our bodies have the ability to create some of the nutrients it can't get in the wild, with one exception being Vitamin C, you judt need to eat the building blocks!. think of eating like it was made of LEGO bricks, the more complex a food is the more value it has to your body!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I am actually really strong!. And i lift weights every day!. And I am also a dancer!. And i can stay on my feet!. You act like we are so weak that we can't even stand!. There are other ways to get protein!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
Same as everyone else!. The source of the protein is irrelevant!. If animal protein was crucial, herbivores would be gelatinous!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
meat isn't the only source of protein, you can take tablets and i think maybe some veges have some protein as well but im not sure
