Veggie protein

Aim for snacks that contain protein and fat to help satiety - e.g. cheese, peanut butter, Greek yoghurt.


In terms of high protein veggie foods, the following regularly feature in my diet:

eggs / egg whites
cheese / cottage cheese
Greek yoghurt
milk
Tofu
Seitan / mock duck
soya 'meat' products
Quorn
edamame
whey powder
nutritional yeast
green vegetables
nuts / seeds
nut butters

For the first, put a search string something like [what are high protein vegetable sources] into your favorite search engine.
This was my result with bing.
Beans, nuts, and seeds are high in protein. Amaranth, quinoa, and (IIRC) teff (?) are too. Tofu & seitan are staples.

For the second, try having more protein for breakfast. Do you eat eggs, cheese, yogurt?
Or have lunch a little earlier.
Or plan a small early lunch and a small late lunch (maybe 3pm), then have dinner as normal at 6 or 7 pm.

Good snacks are any veggie, maybe dipped in some fat-free salad dressing, or hummus.
Popcorn is actually very low-cal and it takes a while to eat, gives lots of mouth feel. It's the butter that's the
problem, so if you want that taste sprinkle on some butter buds or spray it with butter-flavored cooking spray.
Using herbs gives lots of flavor with no calories. Parmesan is great, but does add some calories.

Vegan here who gets plenty of protein from things such as chickpeas, lentils, seeds, nuts, beans, nut butters, vega protein powder and bars, clif builders bars (the chocolate hazelnut flavor is my fav), gardein mock meats, tofu, tempeh, seitan, falafal, boca vegan patties and larabars. Cutting out meats and animal products was the best thing I ever did for my health and fitness. You can get all the nutrients you need from plants! Another bonus was a healthy glow that I am complimented on all the time!
