The 1 cup servings of soy beans, lentils, black beans and kidney beans are anywhere from 600 to 830 calories for disclosure, just so people understand how much their eating.0

Not sure where you're getting this information from - one cup of cooked lentils is 230 calories, canned kidney beans has 210 calories. Perhaps you mean 1 cup of dried lentils/kidney beans?0 -

I'm also a vegetarian (returning) and protein shakes, protein bars, egg whites, and fish (if you eat fish like me) are probably your best bets.
Please don't up your dairy...it's REALLY bad for you. I do eat dairy but I try not to eat a lot of it.
Arrrghhhh! The above encompasses 2 of my pet hates.
1. If you eat fish you are NOT a vegetarian. Did you not study science at school? Do you not realise that fish is not a vegetable?
2. Broad sweeping statements with no back-up. Why on earth do you think dairy is REALLY bad for someone? It's bad for some people for sure but there's NO reliable evidence that suggests all dairy is bad for all people.
OP I'd answer but you've already had loads of good suggestions. I just had to stop by to complain about the above.
Calm down first of all. I eat vegetarian 90% of the time so I think it's ok to call myself a vegetarian
Thank you! If you're eating fish, you're a pescetarian, not a vegetarian.0 -
Everything in moderation is good. Tofu is great but if you do not like tofu then I suggest paneer ( Indian cottage cheese) its way tastier and great for protein. Ideally 1600 to 1800 calories per day should e ideal with your strength training0

My apologies - I didn't see the reference post to 50g protein in lentils, just your post about the calorie count. My bad!0
