    If you google it, I'm sure a lot of information will come up. It's something vegetarians have to deal with. You can also make protein shakes since you already drink milk

    Yep cheese and eggs.

    Some good sources are greek yogurt, cottage cheese, edemame, eggs (and for quick snack I go with hard boiled) and cheese. Also when I'm way behind in my protein I go for smoothie with soy protien powder. I'm not a vegetarian I just don't always have time to cook a full meal especailly just for myself so when I do cook it has to be easily portioned into meals for later. Feel free to peek at my diary.

    I think beans are a good source, too.
