First off i am living proof you don’t need to have a million grams a day of protein to live. As long as your eating healthy and a proper vegetarian or vegan diet i am sure you are getting enough protein!!!!
Here are a couple good articles that’s back me up on how people think they need soooo much protein and how people wonder how vegetarians are getting enough.. its really simple : )
READ THEM I DARE YOU !!!!
and for those of you too lazy to click and read..
well here are the main sources of a vegetarian PROTEIN ....
Here are some examples of vegetarian foods with high sources of plant protein:
PROTEIN IN LEGUMES: Garbanzo beans, Kidney beans, Lentils, Lima beans, Navy beans, Soybeans, Split peas
PROTEIN IN GRAINS: Barley, Brown rice, Buckwheat, Millet, Oatmeal, Rye, Wheat germ, Wheat, hard red, Wild rice
VEGETABLE PROTEIN: Artichokes, Beets, Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Cucumbers, Eggplant, Green peas, Green pepper, Kale, Lettuce, Mushrooms, Mustard green, Onions, Potatoes, Spinach, Tomatoes, Turnip greens, Watercress, Yams, Zucchini
PROTEIN IN FRUITS: Apple, Banana, Cantaloupe, Grape, Grapefruit, Honeydew melon, Orange, Papaya, Peach, Pear, Pineapple, Strawberry, Tangerine, Watermelon
PROTEIN IN NUTS AND SEEDS: Almonds, Cashews, Filberts, Hemp Seeds, Peanuts, Pumpkin seeds, Sesame seeds, Sunflower seeds, Walnuts (black)
Hemp Protein !
One excellent ingredient to look for is hemp seed protein. Hemp seed is an nutritious dietary source of easily digestible gluten-free protein. It provides a well-balanced array of all the amino acids, including 34.6 grams of protein for each 100 grams. The fatty acid profile of the hemp seed is extremely beneficial, containing omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in a virtually ideal ratio. Other beneficial aspects of hemp seed include a strongly favorable unsaturated-to-saturated fat ratio; a high content of antioxidants; and a wide variety of vitamins and minerals.

Also a ton of Meat Substitutes have a ton of protein! As does tofu! So many yummy Soy products out there!. Like for example my Vegetarian Corndogs (morningstar) have 7 grams of protein! And beefcorndogs only have 4! My Veg Corn dogs are way less in fat too!.. Compare and contrast the Vegetarian CornDogs Nutritional Facts with the Chicken and Beef Dogs.
Good topic. I wouldn't have known where else to get protien. I dont really like beans or nuts so any other form of protien is a better choice for me. It feel that the information helps non vegetarians to start to make a transition to being one.
