    I personally can't get enough protein without losing my sanity on a vegan diet, but that's because of my limited access to the highest vegan protein sources (I've given up on that and just eat whatever without trying for protein when I have to eat vegan, like now for the Nativity Fast). If you have access to things like fake meats, tofu, and tempeh, it shouldn't be hard. For vegetarian, it's much easier. Eggs and low fat dairy can be very high in protein without being too high in calories and you get to buy whey protein powder which is cheaper and more available.

    Have you tried Quorn products?
    Their chick'n cutlets are amazing! Easy to chop and put in wraps, salads, etc. The Turk'y roast is yummy too. Ugly, but delicious.
    And the protein is derived from mushroom protein, so its not soy based.
