Answer 1

Protein Sources
While just about every vegetarian food contains some protein, the soybean deserves special mention, for it contains all the essential amino acids and surpasses all other food plants in the amount of protein that it can deliver to the human system. In this regard, it is nearly equal to meat. The human body is able to digest 92 percent of the protein found in meat and 91 percent of that found in soybeans.7

The many different and delicious soy products (such as tempeh, soy "hot dogs" and "burgers," Tofutti brand "ice cream," soy milk, and tofu) available in health and grocery stores suggest that the soybean, in its many forms, can accommodate a wide range of tastes.

Raw protein sources
Other rich sources of non-animal protein include legumes, nuts, seeds, yeast, and freshwater algae. Although food yeasts ("nutritional yeast" and "brewer’s yeast") do not lend themselves to forming the center of one's diet, they are extremely nutritious additions to most menus (in soups, gravies, breads, casseroles, and dips). Most yeasts get about 50 percent of their calories from protein.8

Here are some examples of vegetarian foods with high sources of plant protein:

PROTEIN IN LEGUMES: Garbanzo beans, Kidney beans, Lentils, Lima beans, Navy beans, Soybeans, Split peas

PROTEIN IN GRAINS: Barley, Brown rice, Buckwheat, Millet, Oatmeal, Rye, Wheat germ, Wheat, hard red, Wild rice

VEGETABLE PROTEIN: Artichokes, Beets, Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Cucumbers, Eggplant, Green peas, Green pepper, Kale, Lettuce, Mushrooms, Mustard green, Onions, Potatoes, Spinach, Tomatoes, Turnip greens, Watercress, Yams, Zucchini
PROTEIN IN FRUITS: Apple, Banana, Cantaloupe, Grape, Grapefruit, Honeydew melon, Orange, Papaya, Peach, Pear, Pineapple, Strawberry, Tangerine, Watermelon


hemp protein source
PROTEIN IN NUTS AND SEEDS: Almonds, Cashews, Filberts, Hemp Seeds, Peanuts, Pumpkin seeds, Sesame seeds, Sunflower seeds, Walnuts (black)

One excellent ingredient to look for is hemp seed protein. Hemp seed is an nutritious dietary source of easily digestible gluten-free protein. It provides a well-balanced array of all the amino acids, including 34.6 grams of protein for each 100 grams. The fatty acid profile of the hemp seed is extremely beneficial, containing omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in a virtually ideal ratio. Other beneficial aspects of hemp seed include a strongly favorable unsaturated-to-saturated fat ratio; a high content of antioxidants; and a wide variety of vitamins and minerals.

Answer 3

if u drink regular milk then definitely use 1% chocolate milk. it gives u more protein than regular or soy milk. also fave beans r a nice high protein source but make sure u eat many different types because high protein vegetables don't have the complete amino acids that the body needs. other good beans are lentil and pinto. enjoy.

Answer 4

Beans such as chickpeas, lentils and black beans. You can substitute them in meatloaf if you grind them up. Sunflower seeds, almonds and other nuts but they are high in fat. Cow's milk, cottage cheese, egg whites, fish and seafood, cheese, yoghurt. There is tofu and tofu hotdogs, mushrooms burgers, pasta, cereal, bread, rice, etc.

You honestly shouldn't have to worry about protein. I would worry about calcium and iron instead. Spinach salad with tomatoes, oatmeal with diced mango or dried apricot, lentils followed by a fruit salad for dessert. Combine iron-rich foods at a meal with something rich in Vitamin C. Pasta is loaded with iron.

Calcium: fortified soya milk, spinach, almonds, wheat germ, potatoes, green leafy vegetables, all dairy and salmon are good sources.

Why did he suggest that? Too much protein is not good for you. To get enough, eat a variety of foods. Almost everything has it. Whole wheat breads and whole wheat pastas, beans, soya products, Quorn products and nuts are real good sources.
