Vegetarians- Soy products

now_or_never12

Eggs, tuna, fish, sardines, quinoa, peas, beans, lentils.

Been a vegetarian (eat fish though) for 20 years.

Eating fish of any kind is not being a vegetarian. A true vegetarian does not eat any form of animal products including animal byproducts and any form of animal flesh (including fish).

To the original poster, soy is only bad if you eat a lot of it. There are protein options (for protein powder) that are made from rice or peas.. they tend to be a bit harder to find than whey proteins or soy proteins though. I eat soy products (Veggie Patch products for example) not all that often. You can add things like beans, yogurts, etc to add protein to your diet (although I can't remember from you OP if you eat dairy products).

Yeah, I didn't think you could eat fish if you're a vegetarian. No fish, but I do eat dairy. Thanks for the advice, everyone.
