how do vegetarians get protein?!

eggs, dairy, nuts

Variety is the key, like any diet if you are not eating many different foods you are going to lack certain nutrients. You simply need to follow the food pyramid, if you notice meat does not have its own category, but shares it with beans, legumes, etc. Replace you meat servings with beans and you'll be fine.

Protein is found in just about everything, the average person needs only 50 grams of protein a day, and the average person takes in about 4 times that amount. It is extremely hard to have a protein deficiency, this is rarely seen anywhere except in third world countries that suffer from famine.

In the US people get more than enough protein. Instead of meat, it is in nuts, whole grains, legumes (just see the other suggestions). But we do have to worry about enough calcium - if you are drinking milk you are okay but there are better non-animal ways to get calcium such as nuts, leafy greens, and meat substitutes.

Hun if you eat eggs on a regular basis, you are good just from that alone.
You are also eating dairy and and drinking milk. other things you eat during the day will also have some degree of protein in it for the most part. What i was trying to say is that with what you are eating your protein is more than sufficient.

Most meat eaters consume more than twice the protein they need. Just about everything you eat contains at least some protein so as long as you consume enough calories from healthy foods your protein needs can be easily met without any animal products or supplements.

eggs, beans, nuts, peanut butter, milk, adding protein powder to your meals.

It's not impossible. You don't have to eat animals to get protein.

We need to resort to egg whites and whey protein as well. Lentils too.

I am a vegetarian and put on 16 pounds of mass over the last 8 months or so with a protein rich diet. And doing weights and all that too.

Dairy has some protein. Eggs are a good source of protein. So are nuts, soy, beans, and sunflower seeds.
