    I get about 100 grams a day of non meat protein. Some days are lower. If I had more calories to play with I'd definitely get more protein per day, once I'm eating at maintenance my goal is about 140 grams.

    I do eat eggs, but not really enough that I couldn't cut them out of my diet and still have things be good.

    High protein bread and natural peanut butter.
    Edamame
    Tofu - Not really much fiber, but I combine it with veggies for more goodness.
    Lentils- Loads of protein and fiber
    Chickpeas
    Desi chickpeas made into Indian Dal

    I also eat some greek yogurt with high protein granola in it. One serving is about 38 grams of protein for 330 calories.

    I actually have an easier time hitting my protein goals now that I don't eat meat.
    My diary is open if you want to take a peek.

    If you live in the UK/Europe, Lidl sell a high protein bread roll - their bumph says 100 grams but on my scales it's 125g - with 27g protein per 100g. It is very filling.

    Siggi's yogurt is vegetarian and seriously high in calories. Beyond Meat make good fake meat stuff like beefy crumbles and chicken strips, from pea protein.
