i want to be a vegetarian.....but i hate p-nut buttr....whatz another good source of protein..othr thn raw egg

Answer 1

Hi Odd Ball -

I strongly recommend taking some time to read up on what protein is in. It's not just peanut butter and raw eggs. It's everything from sunflower seeds, to mock meat, to tofu, to yogurt, to beans, to rice, to gardenburgers, to cheese, to bread & cereals, and a world of other things. As long as you are an educated vegetarian, you should never really have to worry about protein - you'll get it all simply from eating a balanced diet. I've linked to a couple of resources to help you learn where you can find plenty of protein. Good luck to you! : )

Answer 2

Anything with a cellular stucture has protein in it. And yes, that includes veggies.

As far a complete proteins go you can eat or supplement, Spirulina, Quinoa, Soy (Tofu), and Hemp seed. You can also get complete proteins via certain combinations like beans and rice, and wheat and cheese.

Other members have already posted links that if you take the time to read you will know everything you need to become a healthy vegetarian. Personally I suggest Veganism. But it's one step at a time, right?

Answer 3

i read other peoples answers before i wrote my own ideas..and the truth is that they about covered it all. there is so many ways to get protein into your diet. popular belief wants one to believe differently, but thats why we all need to do our own research..which is what you are doing.
being a vegetarian is not easy...depending on where you live it is easier..but never easy. before you decide to become one make up your mind on what that means. it does not have to mean what others say it should mean...it is your choice.
you will find many types of vegetarians out there...some are vegans. they don't eat any type of product that comes from any part of an animal.
then are are strick vegetarians who eat cheese but not other animal products.
then there are vegetarians who do not eat poultry, or red meat, but do eat eggs and cheese and fish.
I am one on those. fish is loaded with protein...but i do not eat it as an alternative to meat. and the eggs i eat are strictly organic (meaning range free and 100% veggie fed) the same is true with the cheese and fish i eat. i do not drink milk...but drink a soy milk. they do have organic milkl though.
my best advice to you is to first choose why you want to become a vegetarian. it should not be because it seems to be a cool thing. otherwise it won't last..but should be because your heart is in it. no matter what your choice for becoming one is you will find yourself defending it all the time to friends, new people you meet, to potentional caterers for your wedding to everyone else inbetween. and everyone seems to think that they have a right to talk about the protein you could be lacking.
and everyone wants to comment on whether or not you are a true vegetarian. that is why it is important that you decide to do it for your reasons and your reasons alone.
good luck to you. you are lucky to have the internet so easily available to you..as i did not when i first became a vegetarian. it is so easy to look up good recipes and so forth. use it!! and eat healthy!
p.s. nothing sounds more disgusting than raw egg!!!

Answer 4

Sesame butter, or tahini is good. But if you don't like peanut butter, you probably won't like tahini or any of the other nut butters - like almond butter, cashew butter, etc. The best source of protein, however is beans - all kinds. But in order to be a complete protein, they have to be eaten with some form of grain, like wholewheat bread or rice.

So, you can eat burritos, bean tacos, etc, to get you started. There are also a number of products that resemble meat but are made from vegetable sources. You can find these in most super markets and health food stores. You can get hot dogs, bologna, steak cutlets, sausage, bacon, etc.

Answer 5

How about cooked egg?

Or soy and other legumes (lentils, peas, beans, chick peas, etc...) milk and other dairy products, dark green leafy vegetables, whole grains (including pasta and rice,) nuts and seeds... the list goes on. There's at least some protein in almost everything and it's actually really hard to become protein deficient unless your diet is very narrow.

Answer 6

Cooked eggs, nuts, beans, whole grain, soya products are great sources. Most everything else has a few grams in them as well. It all adds up to enough at the end of the day.

Answer 7

There are a large number of foods you
can eat that you'd enjoy other than just
peanut butter and or eggs. Beans, peas
have a good source of protein.

Answer 8

tofu, almonds, nuts. There's protein soy yogurt too, which is damn delicious. I also buy protein bars from the organic store to eat for fast protein after the gym. There's some protein in spinach and certain veggies. It's in soy milk too.

Answer 9

Mmmmm, almonds. Hummus. Vegetarian baked beans. Fake meats. Seitan!

Answer 10

any legume ( like red beans) with any grain ( like rice) gives you a complete protein.

Such as: Cornbread with peas.
Tortillas with beans or re-fried beans

and i understand hating peanut butter, but did you know there is
CASHEW butter ?
sunflower butter
sesame butter ( tahini)
soy butter


they are all terrific
