Ways to get protien?

Question

okay so i have been a vegetarian for about 3 days but i read that if you dont get alot of protien yuo can get sick and i dont want that so what are some good things vegetarian to eat that have good protien?

Answer 1

well, i became a vegetarian, like, 2 weeks ago (not vegan) so, here are some things that give you protein. If you still eat fish then that has protein, peanuts, tofu is a great source, all nuts actually, milk or soy. You can look on the back of the food where it sais the calories and it tells you the amount of protein it has. Try counting how much you get for two or three days to get an idea. You should deffinately take supplements too though, especially for iron and vitamin b12. Sorry, thats all i know of, Good Luck!

Hope that helped!!!!! :D

Answer 4

It depends on what kind of vegetarian you are. Some vegetarians don't eat dairy and some do. If you do, you can eat lowfat cheese, eggs, drink milk, yogurt, etc. Dairy is a good source of protein.

If you do not eat dairy, nuts, peanut butter/almond butter, soybeans, soy milk, whole grains in bread and pasta, beans, tofu, brown rice... and if that doesn't help, you can always resort to nasty protein bars!

Tofu, ½ cup 20 grams protein

Tofu, 1 oz, 2.3 grams

Soy milk, 1 cup - 6 -10 grams

Most beans (black, pinto, lentils, etc) about 7-10 grams protein per

half cup of cooked beans

Soy beans, ½ cup cooked – 14 grams protein

Split peas, ½ cup cooked – 8 grams

Peanut butter, 2 Tablespoons - 8 grams protein

Almonds, ¼ cup – 8 grams
