Ways to get protein when vegan ?

Question

I'm going to go on a vegan diet for a few months, and I don't know how to get protein.

I'm allergic to peanuts so I can't have those =/

Answer 1

you're already getting proteins.

listen... that protein issue is a myth.

http://www.healthalternatives2000.com/mi...

this site lists all the  fruits and veggies that are commonly found...   thus it lists information about each.. including protein.

when you do look, you'll find you're going to get more than your recommended allowance daily for each item nessesary.

there.

Answer 2

Going vegan opens up a whole new world of tasty foods and flavors! There are vegan alternatives to almost every animal food that you can think of-from soy sausages and fib ribs to phony bologna, Tofurky jerky, and mock lobster.

The vegan diet can-and should-be full of a wide variety of delicious foods, plus you’ll save a lot of animals from the misery of animal factories.

As long as the diet contains a variety of grains, legumes, and vegetables, protein needs are easily met.

Other rich sources of non-animal protein include:

legumes, nuts, seeds, food yeasts, and freshwater algae.

Although food yeasts, such as nutritional yeast and brewer’s yeast, do not lend themselves to being the center of one’s diet, they are extremely nutritious additions to many types of dishes, including soups, gravies, breads, casseroles, and dips. Most yeasts are 50 percent protein.

Good Luck!

Answer 3

You EAT.  Simple as that.  Just eat a balanced diet.  Beans are good sources of protein, as are tofu, tempeh, and seitan.  Can you have other nuts, such as almonds, cashews, pistachios, walnuts, and pecans?  Those are also good sources of protein.  Almond butter is a great substitute for peanut butter.

And if you ever doubt a vegan diet can give you enough protein, may I suggest you look up the word "kwashiorkor."
