    1/2 cup of edamame has 9g of protein. I also get pre-packaged individual servings of cheese (babybel, sargento are both good) for 5-7g. Protein shakes? Sunflower seeds?

    I'm a big fan of Morning Star veggie sausage links. Have them for breakfast with egg whites

    love greek yogurt! if you have a full kitchen, why not bake some tofu/other meat thingies and cut them into cubes? umm I eat cheese, low/non fat string cheese is portable. nuts of all kinds, just watch the roasted/salted ones! nut butters, soy milk (with
    morning breakfast cereal?)

    hope this helps!

    Edamame (Soybean Seeds)
    I usually by the frozen one's in the pods, but you can buy them already shelled.

    This was posted today and they sound pretty yummy. I am sure that the ingredients can be modified to suit a vegan! Good luck!

    If you can find them, these are a convenient way to eat edamame: http://www.seapointfarms.com/dry-roasted-edamame.html

    I get most of my protein from egg whites with spinach and cheese for breakfast. CLIF protein bars are good for on the go.

    How about a portion of edamame? I buy them pre-shelled and frozen, put 75g into a small container (maybe with a little salt) and microwave them at work - 120 cal, 13g protein, 5g fat, 10g carbs.

    The dried edamame are also pretty good (like soy nuts).

    I also eat a lot of greek yogurt and almonds!

    buttermilk, eggs, cheese and a lot of fresh seeds in salads do the trick for me.
