how can you get protein if your a vegetarian?

Answer 1

Umm, have you ever stopped to consider how meat got its protein? Animals don't make their protein from thin air. They get it from their food, like we do. Cows eat plants, ergo, plants contain protein. You do the math.

Answer 3

Beans and lentils,nuts, seeds, tofu. Fish and eggs are good sources of protein, if you allow animal products in your diet. Some vegetarians only omit flesh, and don't count fish as meat and allow some animal products in their diets.

Answer 4

Most plant foods contain protein and in fact it would be very difficult to design a vegetarian diet that is short on proteinGood sources of protein for vegetarians include nuts and seeds, pulses, soya products (tofu, soya milk and textured soya protein such as soya mince), cereals (wheat, oats, and rice), free-range eggs and some dairy products (milk, cheese and yoghurt).

The best plant source of protein is legumes, including lentils, kidney beans, chick peas, split peas, lima beans, mung beans, baked beans etc., and soy products such as tempeh. The highest source per 100 grams is cooked soy beans, with 13.5 grams of protein.
Nuts and seeds are very high in protein, but because they also contain quite high levels of fat, they should be eaten in moderation. The highest source per 100 grams is peanuts, with over 27 grams of protein.
Grains, such as breakfast cereals, bread, rice and pasta are lower in protein, but still contribute useful amounts to the diet. Some vegetables also add to the overall protein intake.

It is almost impossible to NOT get protein from any diet.

Look at the largest animals on earth. Elephants grow big and strong without eating meat, so do cows, and horses and rhinos and...

Do I need to go on?

Dairy products are higher in calories than the vegan (non dairy) sources of protein so they should be eaten in moderation, particularly if you are trying to lose weight (or keep the same weight!). You can of course buy low fat varieties of cheese and drink semi-skimmed, or even skimmed milk, low fat yogurts and spreads.
