I am looking for some protein sources for vegetarians. I have been working out much more now and need protein intake. I cannot take protein powder as it gives me back acne that is leaving very bad scars. Looking for some non-dairy sources of protein. I know the basics, eggs, basic legumes, fruits, tofu, nuts, grains...
Basically looking for some unique places I can get protein. If you could let me know of some fruits, nuts, or grains I may of not heard of that would be great.

I made up our minds so as to add more protein to my diet given that it helps reduce cravings for sweets and helps me feel more obviously. I additionally desired to maintain energy to a minimum. I had to do a little research. I truly walked around a wellbeing meals retailer and a typical grocery retailer. The non-meat foods that I've added to my weight loss plan: cottage cheese 1%, low fats string cheese, sometimes balance bars/protein bars with calories of one hundred ninety/a hundred and eighty or cut down with a excessive protein content material-19 Gm and with low fats and low carbs, expertise carb manage protein drinks, match and light-weight yogurt, 1 % milk and other dairy products. Additionally, you could try to to find an egg variety that maybe pleasurable to you and beans and nuts that you simply would like. That you would be able to additionally take a protein food and mix it with a intricate carb providing you with a whole protein. You might must be just a little creative; try to keep an open mind. Hope all works out for you!

John - fish? Really? Is the old fallacy that vegetarians eat fish STILL being touted?
A cup of quinoa with a cup of black beans will give you almost 25 grams of protein.
You just summed it up. Eggs are your number 1 source.
Nuts, avocado, fish?, cottage cheese, they're all good.
Wholegrains have protein but subpar of the essential aminos. Brown rice/wholemeal pasta is the way to go - fiber, carbs, bit of protein.
Stay away from powder. Toxic garbage.
Other than that, your protein eating days are over partna
