Im a vegetarian but i want to gain some muscle mass to tone up my body, i work out every other day, i take a GNC mega-multi vitamin daily, and get plenty of rest but i know that it's all a waste unless i eat alot of protein to build muscle, so are there any high protein foods out there for weight training vegetarians?

Check out this guy. He's a completely vegan body builder who has won competitions. I've seen him speak. He know what he's talking about.

It is very possible to gain muscle mass on a vegan diet. Broccoli has more protein than beef does, ounce for ounce.

soybean, or soymilk contains a lot of protein, and also very healthy. Also potato. Now there is a kind of machine popular in china, which can cook soy milk using soybean, amond, corn, rice and any cereals, with this machine, you can enjoy all kinds of cereal milks full of nutrition and suitable for you vegetatian, this machine is also very popular in europe and america, mainly bought by vegetarian. Just for your information, ):

Morningstar Farms and Boca both make veggie foods high in protein- try the veggie dogs, they're really high for a small size. What about eating carbs too? If you're not vegan, try ice cream! NOTE to Gustav - VEGETARIANS DO NOT EAT FISH !!!!! IT ISN'T A VEGETABLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lots of soy, spirulina, tofu, and beans together with rice make a complete protein. Make sure you get enough, your body is going to demand it.
