Besides meat, where can I get protein from?

Question

Besides meat, where can I get protein from?

Answer 1

Beans, nuts, and soy products. Dairy does have some, but it's not considered a high source. Seafood of course does have a lot of protein, but it is essentially fish meat, so if you're a vegetarian it may not be the right choice for you.

Answer 2

nuts, beans, eggs, and fish (if you decide to eat) are the easiest

Answer 6

Almost everything has some protein in it, but some things are higher then others, like: eggs, dairy, nuts, seeds, beans, peas, and whole grains.  

Answer 7

Animal sources are the only complete proteins. All plant proteins lack methione, an essential amino acid.

Edit: Rohak, on the protein quality scale milk is ranked only below eggs for bioavailability. I don't know where you get the idea that it is a poor source.
