Cansomeone suggest me some veg tips for high protien which do not include soy.Is cow milk good for me.

Answer 1

I am not a vegetarian, but I think you can get enough protein from eating other kinds of beans and nuts. Almonds, peanuts, walnuts, sunflower seeds, pecans, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, cashews, etc. are all good sources of protein. I have heard some bad things about soy beans too. I don't know much about what beans are good because I eat enough meat not to have to worry about it. I think cow's milk is good for you as long as you do not drink too much of it. Cheese is another source of protein. If you have trouble eating enough protein, you can try adding powdered milk to your food. I never did that either. I think powdered milk is cheap in the US though. Good luck!

Answer 2

Skim milk is fine, soy is much debated. Eggs, fish, beans are good.
