I really like textured vegetable protein. Things from Morning Star and there's a Safeway brand mandarin meat-free chicken that's really good. Most types of beans, cheeses, and peanut butter. Then of course there's tofu. Getting enough protein is always fun as a vegetarian. (:

I tend to have this problem too. I suggest at the family get togethers bring some healthy things to share with everyone, and control your portion sizes. If it's not that kind of get together, they shouldn't be offended of you trying to take care of yourself. Do what you think is best, and what's right for you.
