No meat athlete?

Any recommendations on for high protein non meat food?

Are there any people watching their meat intake (you don't necessarily need to be vegetarian), and finding it a struggle to get enough protein?

When I started out I used to look at stuff like this:

Also look at Tofu, Seitan (Protein: 18 grams per 3-ounce serving ) and Tempeh
getvegucated.com is a good source of info. I hope that helps.

I'm "testing" being a vegetarian for 6 weeks. I find beans (I cook dried beans) to be very filling and a great source of energy. I haven't found a meat substitute that I could live on, but tempeh is the best I've tried. I've also had lots of eggs, cottage cheese and Greek yogurt. But I wouldn't even come close to my goal without my daily protein shake.

I mean, you could look at the blog... Since you mentioned it. They have information on this very topic. The creator was once vegetarian, before they started going no-oil vegan and whatnot.

We don't need as much protein as we think: proteinaholic.com/.

That said, there are many, many endurance athletes who are vegan: Rich Roll, Brendan Brazier, Scott Jurek, Matt Frazier (of the blog). There are also vegan body builders, weightlifters, swimmers, etc.

Rich Roll just came out with a meal planning website that you can gear your vegan diet menus to heavy training, where you need more of everything. Brendan Brazier's "Thrive" and "Thrive Cookbook" have great recipes. Matt Frazier just came out with a cookbook last month.

Quinoa, chia, tempeh, beans, tofu are all good protein sources. Just don't get hung up on it.
