Vegetarian/ Vegans: Recipes for getting Protein?

bemillerbri

Hello
I am a vegetarian and have been for about 7 years now. I do eat eggs. I however have noticed that I am pretty low on energy lately, and not ever really reaching the protein goal ( even knowing many individual things that have protein in them. Do any of you have low fat, high protein recipes that are good and helpful when on a fitness plan?
Would appreciate any support, friend requests( with mutual dietary restrictions) and any advice!

My favourite go to place for recipes is Pinterest.

I second Pinterest.


Also, I have a go-to soup I always make and make a big batch of it so I can eat it for lunch or when I'm lazy.

Usually includes carrots, broccoli, baby red potatoes, tofu, and cabbage... and whatever seasonings I find. Usually like italian/garlic kinda stuff. I always add a little lime juice or lemon juice on top of a bowl and some hot sauce :P

Can't guarantee you'll like it since I am not a particularly picky eater; but my husband enjoys it

Cottage cheese omelette (anything with eggs or cottage cheese, honestly)

Beans and legumes.

play around with legumes (White beans, chick peas, lentils are my favorite), Tofu (I love Tofu!), soy meat products, dairy products, eggs.

I usually pick some type of legume and cook it with either tofu, soy meat. or have eggs on the side.
I basically saute them, add some spices and eat with brown rice or quinoa, or sweet potato

And whey protein is one of the easiest / most convenient / cheapest protein sources

Hope it helps I have some recipes uploaded on MFP as well.
