Protein

Many people believe that vegetarians have a hard time 'getting their protein'. Non-vegetarians often ask vegetarians 'how are you going to get your protein?'. The belief that vegetarians will have a hard time consuming enough protein is unfounded. Vegetarians can easily meet their protein needs by eating a varied diet.

Good protein sources are: lentils, tofu, low-fat dairy products, nuts, seeds, tempeh, peas. Many common foods such as whole grain bread, greens, potatoes, pasta, and corn also have protein. Soy protein has been shown to be equal to proteins of animal origin.

Almost all foods except for alcohol, sugar, and fats contain protein.
