I've some health issues and I'm thinking of going vegetarian.
I'm allergic to tofu
I know legumes are a good source of protein when combined with most whole grains.
Any other suggestions for vegetarian proteins?

Most beans are a good low fat/protein
Green veggies. 1 cup cooked spinach has about 7 grams, green beans about 13 grams, boiled peas 9 grams.
Nut butters (peanut, almond or cashew)
Quinoa
Sprouted grain bread (Food For Life is a good one)0 -
Mushrooms, nuts, textured vegetable protein, eggs and dairy in moderation, plus everything jnp96 said.0
