    eggs (unless those are considered meat), greek yogurt, cheese, nuts, beans, protein powder.

    I can't have the eggs or dairy. Do you know of a good protein powder?

    If no dairy, then I guess that means no whey either? Maybe look for a vegan protein powder. I hear hemp is pretty good. The only vegan powder I've tried was made with brown rice and it was very gritty. I don't recommend it.

    ok. thanks.

    Oh you have protein malnourishment?
    .

    No. I'm fasting for 21 days so no meat. I can't have fish for every meal. LOL

    I suggest Hemp Protein Powder, beans and brown rice if you are going vegan for the fast.

    thanks. I'll look for it.

    Quinoa is a grain and has good protein, about 8 grams for 1 cup. I prep mine like a rice subsititute.... Nuts have great protien and nut butters, almond and peanut. Get apples or celery and dip them in almond butter. Alsoeat raw almonds are good snacks... I eat them all the time.

    thanks for the suggetion. I'll look for it.

    Vegan proteins - nuts, beans, legumes, seeds (especially flax and chia)

    For a nutrient-dense vegan protein powder, go with a pea/rice protein isolate like LifeTime Fitness' VeganMax or Whole Foods VegaOne.

    A good soy, rice or pea based protein should work for you.
