tofu
Beans and nuts
Tofu has lots of protein in it, but if you are not a fan of tofu, then there are many vitamin complexes that you can purchase which contain protein. Protein is critical to every diet, and being a vegetarian myself, I can tell you that it's very essential. Good luck!
Tofu, nuts such as almonds and walnuts, beans-black, cannelini, navy etc. "Veggie" burgers and other products such as these ,dairy products,and some whole grain products contain trace proteins
At Vegweb.com they have a great resource list of the foods you can use to insure you are getting the right balance while omitting meat from the diet. The list includes: Legumes, millet, soy products and more. They also have a great recipe library so you can enjoy a wide range of foods.
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). My daughter seems to think that eating an egg Mcmuffin EVERYDAY is a good thing to do as she is a vegetarian! ( I don't but then I'm only her mother.)
peanut butter
You can't - God's sake eat a balanced diet that includes some animal protein at least ovo-lacto OK?
eat beans, nuts and soy products all are high in protein. I eat protein bars too, every other day or so...
consume beans, soya and mushroom
It is easy to get enough protein, once you know how!
Lots of things such as eggs (about 6g per egg), nuts, seeds, pulses, cheese, baked beans, milk, soya products and quorn meals have plenty of protein in! Make sure you get the balance right of all of them, and you should be fine! Luckily, meat protein isnt nearly as good for you as this protein!
Also rememebr to keep up your iron intake-this is found in green veg and tomatoes mainly.
You hsould be eating around 47-60g of protein per day
Everything has protein. Whole grains, legumes, nuts, soy products are all staples in a vegetarian diet. Google the vegetarian food pyramid.
tofu, beans, substitute meats
Beans, grains and dark leafy greens give you the same, almost perfect protien as eggs. Meat doesn't even come close. People still think they have to eat meat to get protien.
I guess. Eat things like tofu or drink tons of protein water.
Legumes, nuts. peanut butter is most popular. but know that it is never the exact same protein as in animals, so you have to consume much more.
Definitely eat all the things everyone has been saying, but here are a couple of different suggestions:
Kashi makes really good protein bars and cereals.
Try quinoa (it's a seed) instead of rice or pasta. It's very high in protein.
Also, Barilla makes a pasta with more protein and omega-3 now. It's called Barilla Plus and it's in a yellow box.
Good luck!

i had this concern before i went veg. first off, the concept of me becoming veg made my parents worry i wouldn't get enough protein as well. i did my research, and found that nuts and soy products like the soy milk called "Silk" is protein enriched, as well as tofu and Morningstar Farms' veggie burgers.
if you are Catholic, fish is a Vegetable on Fridays. I use Salmon and Tuna. Very nice protein load.
