Protein for vegetarians

I have been vegetarian for almost 3 years and eat between 130-170g of protein a day. Feel free to add me or check out my diary for ideas.

Thanks

I'm gonna be that jerk that tells you to just eat meat. Yes, I know you can all point out at least one professional athlete, weightlifter, or other very fit person who claims to be a vegetarian, but these people are exceptions to the rule. If you want to stick to vegetarian then great, but the BEST sources of protien are chicken and lean cuts of beef. I mean c'mon, you knew someone was gonna have to say it :-)

Seriously?

NOT the place for that post. If you don't have anything towards the topic to post don't post at all.

Not everyone resorts to eating animals for protein. There are amazing sources of protein that are not animal flesh. I can get much more protein out of my vegetarian foods than chicken or beef. I actually consume MORE protein now that I am not consuming any form of meat.

Well I will try anything once ! I love cooking and I have a job that allows me the time to prepare every meal fresh. I never like to eat the same thing twice for dinner though. I feel like I have wasted a days food if I eat the same as yesterday. Weird I know!
If only that we're the strangest thing about me

I agree! I hate eating the same things everyday. I tend to eat eggs everyday but I never eat them the same each day! I always try to change things up!

It's good to be able to be creative and try new things!

I wish I did like egg white but I hate it. I am really fussy about scrambled egg or omelette. It has to be cooked perfectly for me to eat. I do like the yolk (which is typical, isn't it!).

I will try scrambled eggs again this week. I have never seen / used liquid eggs in the UK. I'm not sure they make them here.
