    I did a search by google for you =

    http://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/bhcv2/bhcarticles.nsf/pages/protein?open

    Some sources of dietary protein include:
    lean meat, poultry and fish
    eggs
    dairy products like milk, yoghurt and cheese
    seeds and nuts
    beans and legumes (such as lentils and chickpeas)
    soy products like tofu
    some grain and cereal-based products are also sources of protein, but are generally not as high in protein as meat and meat alternative products.

    List didn't include protein powder which is a good option too.

    You may find basic information by using google a lot quicker:

    just my two cents for non-meat, non-dairy sources.


    There are some high-protein plants out there. Beans (don't forget peas and green beans in there too), edamame, spinach, sprouts, artichoke, broccoli, kale, mushrooms, asparagus and corn are some that come to mind. Also, though high in calorie, nuts - especially almonds and pumpkin seeds - are another source, as well as soy milk, tempeh, tofu and seitan. Then there are oats, amaranth, bulgur, quinoa, whole grain rice.
