More Protein Please! Vegetarians thread

BodyTemple23

Can you post how you get your protein if you are mostly vegetarian? I'd love to plan vegetarian meals with more protein while balancing carbs. I eat eggs and Greek yogurt and want to keep it interesting so I could use meal ideas.

Here's my first attempt at eating more protein:

I find plant based Garden of Life protein powder with some almond milk helpful

Smoked tofu fold-over sandwich:



Peanut butter pita with kefir and hot vanilla milk:



Oatmeal with lots of stuff: This one is high calorie (I'm in maintenance) but dropping the seeds, nuts, and PBfit reduces the calories some while still leaving a good bit of protein.



Tonight's dinner, tofu noodles baked and mixed with cooked frozen veg (cucumber was a side, optional obviously). Columns are calories, carbs, fats, protein, sodium, fiber.



Other things for which I don't have a screen shot handy:

Edamame fettuccine with stir-fried veggies and a dressing of chili sauce + peanut butter powder + rice vinegar and maybe other seasonings.

Plain tempeh with barbecue sauce (or something similar), baked. (There'd be veggie sides.)

Red lentil pasta with marinara and calorie-efficient cheese. (There'd be veggie sides.)
