Anyone know any protein high vegatarian foods?
Answers:
Broccoli has more protein than beef ounce for ounce.
Soy is a great source. Beans, nuts, grains. Anything that's alive is made of protein. It's kind of silly that people dwell on protein. It's the easiest thing to get.
Soya beans & nuts
Soy beans, Tofu
soya beans
Why high protein? You don't half as much as you think. Anyway, legumes, nuts and whole grains are great sources.

TVP (if you can stand it)
100 grams Veal = 25.93 gm protein
100 grams Beef = 25.81gm protein
100 grams Pork = 21.07 gm protein
or
100 grams of tofu 7.4 gm protein
so you have to eat 300 grams of tofu to equal the amount in any kind of meat
SPAM has more protein then tofu has
spam = 15.23 for 100 gm
there are many, but most only provide incomplete proteins, so you should eat them in combination, like rice and beans provide a complete protein when eaten together.
pine nuts, is the highest protein nuts out there
soy milk is high in protein, i used to drink no water all soy milk, when i workout
Seitan is the most protein dense (per gram) food there is, more than soy, more than eggs, more than any meat. It's made from wheat gluten and is what the Buddhist emperors used as fake meat.
Broccoli has a high protein density per calorie, not per gram. If you eat 100 calories worth of broccoli, you'll get more protein than 100 calories worth of meat.
1. tofu
2. eggs
3. beans (pinto, black, kidney)
4. lentils
5. chickpeas
you don't need as much as USDA says. soy sucks. hemp seeds rock. sorry for all lower case. eating strawberries.
I can't find the chart I posted to previously, but lentil beans seemed to be among the highest for beans. Most beans rate highly.
I found the chart, notice that various beans and seeds are similar in protein value to animal products, but veggie food has no cholesterol.

The person who posted saying 100g of tofu is around 7g protein isn't reading something correctly. That is probably per serving, and 100g is ~7 servings. A $1 pack of tofu of 85g has 42 g of protein, even more than the meat items that were listed by this poster.
well there is such a thing like Nutrella and it contains more protein than meat(!) u can find it in asian section of ur supermarket or where all healthy stuff is.(it is dry balls of soy)
