What are some foods that contain protein?

Answer 1

Being vegetarian does not mean your diet will be lacking in protein. Most plant foods contain protein and in fact it would be very difficult to design a vegetarian diet that is short on protein. Excess dietary protein may lead to health problems. It it now thought that one of the benefits of a vegetarian diet is that it contains adequate but not excessive protein.

Most foods contain at least some protein. Good 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).

Answer 3

Meat does, but you're a vegan so try to eat alot more beans such as brown beans, black-eyed peas, lima beans, etc.
I'm pretty sure tofu has good amounts of protein too, but not as much as beans.

Answer 4

well meat products have protein, but if you are a vegeterian-soy milk has lots of protein and in store you can even purchase tasteless protein powder, that you can just add in your food.

Answer 5

Milk, milk products, eggs, ,meat, chicken, soya beans, lentils etc. For a vegan, soya and lentils are the best choice. for a vegetarian, diary products are OK. Spiriluna (algae) is another rich source of proteins for vegans.

Answer 6

Try Rice and Beans (your choice). Perfect protein.
