Answer 3

soy beans, milk, tofu and eggs

Answer 4

Soy Beans, that's a good one. For meat, if you like Hamburgers, there's boca burgers.

Tofu, you can do SO many things with this. Seriously.

Soy Milk/Rice Milk, they are usually more nutritious than regular milk, and you're not drinking a cows fake pregnancy milk~

Vegetables/Fruits, a lot of these, because they are good for you.

Other beans, believe it or not beans are insanely good for you. High in protein too! :D

Potato's, starchy, but they do have some things your body needs.

Hope that helps! :D

Answer 9

Protein should not be an issue, unless you're just not eating enough food, or you're consuming most of your calories in the form of junk food.  Protein is the building block of life, meaning it's practically everywhere.

Vegetarians get their protein from:

Soybeans and soy foods (tofu, tempeh, edamame, fake meats)

Beans and other legumes (peas, peanuts, lentils, chickpeas)

Grains and grain products (even foods lumped under the category of "carbs" like pasta, bread and rice have protein)

Nuts

Seeds

Vegetables (especially dark green vegetables)

Mushrooms

Fruits (although to a lesser extent)

Dairy products

Eggs

Here is a link with some information about protein: http://www.pcrm.org/health/veginfo/prote...

A book I always recommend to new vegetarians is "(The New) Becoming Vegetarian" by Brenda Davis and Vesanto Melina.  Both authors are registered dietitians and the book is very thorough coverage of vegetarian nutrition.  It even has a chapter dedicated to the needs of teen vegetarians, since you're still growing.

Answer 10

Here is a list of foods that contain protein:

almonds

black beans

brown rice

cashews

garbonzo beans

kidney beans

lentils

lima beans

peanut butter

pinto beans

seitan

soybeans

soymilk

sunflower seeds

textured vegetable protein

tofu

veggie dogs & burgers

yogurt

cottage cheese

Hope I helped :)

Answer 11

You wouldn't be protein deprived anyway.  Protein is pretty much in everything.  You can eat anything but meat (includes fish and chicken).   Get the book called Vegetables Rock!  It's great for new teen vegetarians.
