There is a myth that vegetarian and vegan diets do not provide enough protein!. The reality is that most people have too much protein in their diets as there are many, many different types of foods that provide it!. Including:
Fruit, vegetables, cereals, tofu and meat substitutes, soy, beans and pulses, nuts!.!.!.
Here is a good source for details: http://www!.vegparadise!.com/protein!.html
And here are some other useful facts:
1!. Too much protein is as harmful as too little, and is linked with shorter life expectancy, increased cancer and heart disease risk, widespread obesity and diabetes, osteoporosis, kidney stress, and bad digestion
2!. High protein-diets bring about temporary weight-loss, at the expense of overall health, and people quickly regain weight once they return to a normal diet
3!. A varied vegetarian/vegan diet with a balance of protein, fats & carbohydrates, and adequate calorie intake provides more than enough protein
4!. Complete animal protein is not superior to complete protein from more than one plant source – they give the same result in different ways
5!. Protein from plant sources doesn't include excess calories from fat, toxic residues, or an overabundance of protein, which stresses the kidneys
I hope that's helpful!. :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Eat a balanced diet, and you'll almost surely get enough!. You need between !.3 and !.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight per day, and unless you're eating junk food, that's pretty easy to get!.
Besides, you also need vitamins, some fat, and fiber to stay healthy, too, but people don't worry about those as much!. Oh, no, they're stuck on the damn protein myth!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Eggs cheese and milk!. They provide protein, vitamins and essential fats!.
I would avoid any non-fermented soy "foods" like soy milk and tofu!. They are filled with naturally occurring toxins and hormones like phytoestrogens!. Soy has been linked to thyroid problems as well!. Traditionally fermented soy foods are probably OK in small amounts!.
But nothing is more nutritionally dense than meat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
