Tofu, soy milk, beans, lentils and nuts are all excellent sources of protein (and other nutrients too). Grains like Millet and Quinoia are surprisingly high in protein as well.
Daal (indian style lentils) and Houmus (middle eastern dip with chick peas and tahini) are two of my fave high protein vegetarian meals. If you don't feel like cooking, a handful of nuts is always good (my fave are almonds).
(For breakfast I had a bowl of puffed millet with soy milk and a bit of sugar, and now I'm off to the gym - good luck)

Tofu is probably your best bet -- you can either buy the plain blocks, or it's also available in a variety of meat-substitutes in the freezer section. (I'm not a vegetarian, but I usually have a box of the Boca flame-broiled "burgers" in my freezer because I like the way they taste.) Beans are also a good option. If you're not a vegan, eggs are a very good choice.

Raw unsalted almonds provide 6g's of protein per ounce. An ounce of almonds is equal to filling a shot glass with them.
You miss out on all the salt, that can help dehydrate you, and at the same time getting:
calcium, vitamin E, riboflavin, vitamin b6, phosphorus, copper, Iron, thiamin, niacin, folate, magnesium, selenium and manganese.
A great jumpstart to a workout!!!

Beans and green leafy veges. Stay away from that processed tofu crap. The processing of soy to make it more usable, makes it unhealthy. The soy products in America are nothing like the rest of the world's soy products, healthwise.

Daal - ie all sorts of split legumes
If you go to an Indian store you will get much more variety of legumes.

Beans, lentils, and peanut butter, and if you're not a vegan some dairy is good also.
