Answer 2

I wouldn't worry about a protein souce.

An analogy would be if I were to worry about a calorie source.
Q: From what foods should I get my calories? What should I buy and eat to make sure I'm eating calories?
A: From ALL foods. Since all foods have calories, then there's no need to eat a special calories source.

All foods have protein, so as long as you eat something, anything, you're getting protein. Not all foods have all 9 essential amino acids. Solution? Eat a variety of foods. Really, it's that simple.

We only need 8% of our caloric intake to come from protein, so there's nothing to worry about as far as getting enough protein. Yes, protein is a very important macronutrient, but easy, easy, we only need a little of it.

Carlee: She asked for a vegetarian source, and you suggested fish. Fish is flesh, so it isn't vegetarian.

Answer 3

"It is very easy for a vegan diet to meet the recommendations for protein, as long as calorie intake is adequate. Strict protein combining is not necessary; it is more important to eat a varied diet throughout the day."

Some very easy sources are tofu, soymilk, beans, nuts, grains, broccoli and spinach.
