Good sources of protein for vegetarians? [closed]

Question

I am a 15-year-old vegetarian (and I don't eat eggs). Can anyone suggest good sources of vegetarian food with high protein content to improve my health?

Answer 1

Here are some good sources of protein:

• hemp seeds (10g/2tbsp)
• peanut butter (8g/2tbsp)

• chia seeds (4g/2tbsp)

• pumpkin seeds (7g/oz)

• almonds (6g/oz)

• seitan (6g/oz)

• tempeh (30g/cup)

• tofu (20g/cup)
• black beans (15g/cup)
• quinoa (8g/cup)
• soy milk (8g/cup)
• buckwheat (6g/cup)

Do you eat dairy? If you do, try:

• cottage cheese (26g/cup)
• Greek yogurt (20g/cup)

Note that these numbers are approximate (depending on the brand, etc.). There are many other sources of protein, but I hope this provides you with a starting point.
