And how are you feeling today?

There are various other foods that you can eat that include the necessary daily protein intake, including cereal, whole wheat bread, beans, tofu, and peanut butter (just to name a few). Try checking out Vegetarian Resource Group for a sample menu on how easy it is to meet protein needs.

life is too short for drama and petty things, so kiss slowly, laugh insanely, love truly, and forgive quickly.

try and find things with alot of protein in it like cereal, oatmeal, things like that I think bananas have alot of protein in them don't remember. also drink protein shakes.

MY inferiority complex isn't as good as YOURS

Protein isn't as much as a problem as iron.I've been a vegan for six years.Protein is available in many meatless foods and absorbes well into the bloodstream this way.Iron can be harder to find in vegetarian cuisine and doesn't absorb as well by way of supplements.The best way to get all the nutrients you need when going veg is focusing on leafy greens,cereals fortified with iron and calcium,nuts,beans and plenty of organic supplements specifically formulated for those on a meatless diet.Check out GoVeg.com for some good information and if you do decide to become a vegetarian,I commend you!It's such a committment but so worth it!

No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world.

I have been a vegetarian for 25 years, and I get my proteins from the following: fish, eggs, dairy products, nuts, seeds, and legumes like black beans and lentils.  In addition, I take multiviatamins on a daily basis.
