First thing that comes to mind is eggs. But that only works if you are not completely cutting out animal products.

Nuts. Peanut butter.

Iron pills.

You need to eat a variety of beans, hummus, vegetables and fruit as well as dairy products. Vegetarian and/or vegan meals can be very healthy.

Tofu products will give you more than enough. I've been a vegetarian for about 25 years. There are many meat replacements if you like meat. Look into Veat, Morningstar and there are many more. I can look in my fridge is you'd like a full list.

Wheat, Rice, Potato, etc. Don't forget beans and stuff. However, you aren't really cutting meat out of your diet. By creating a higher demand for the non-meat foods you will be consuming, you're forcing more land to be farmed. Think of the countless animals that are killed when a commercial-sized lot of land is farmed. As well, there is actually an amount set by the FDA of how much like rodent or animal part may be in a batch of wheat, for example, that is picked up. It's not a lot..like 1:5,000 or something but it's still there. It's the same rule that is set for insects in chocolate. I think that's 1:5,000, too Also, unless you're removing meat for taste reasons, if you don't eat the meat then someone else will so you're not propagating the deaths of something that wouldn't already be dead. It's not a happy thought but it's the truth. Take care.

beans, nuts, and tofu.

Protein bars. =) I was a vegetarian for a year while supporting a friend.. protein bars are life savers... ~+~

Beans, nuts, tofu, rice, potatos etc. If you need more than that, you might want to try, whey protein shake.

give plenty of blowjobs LOL Failing that raw almonds are a great source of protein that don't have as many calories as say peanuts and the fats they contain are good for for your cholesterol levels.

main solid sources of protein for a vegetarian ar egg whites (controversial b/c they are not part of the chick that becomes it, egg whites are the chick's food while it grows), tofu, protein shakes (whey, egg white, and soy), yogurt, beans and nuts are ok but have alot of calories, and of course the "fake" meat such as morning star

legumes, and nuts. Peanut butter on toast is a great breakfast! Are you cutting out eggs? If not they are a good source of protein.

well you need protien, which always doesnt mean fattening peanut butter. beans and rice is complete protien for the day, you also need calcium.

Many whole grains and legumes (beans & peas) contain some amount of protein, as well as nuts & seeds. Whey protein bars and powders in shakes are good sources of healthy protein. I'm of the school that thinks processed soy is unhealthy.... You also have to be careful to get enough of all the b vitamins and iron. Look for iron-rich green leafy vegetables.

I've been a vegetarian for around 5 months now and its great, you will love the way you feel (I'm eventually going to be Vegan, but cheese is so addicting!) There is protein in many things, you need to eat your Legumes, such as beans, soy and tofu products. Dairy products, and lots of your fake meat things have protein. Its easy. Do it!!!

Green peas!

It depends on what you are going to cut out. 1) Some people don't eat "meat", but they eat fish or other sea animals. You are not a vegetarian, but you get plenty of protein. Vegetarian don't eat dead animals, but they could eat either eggs (ovo-vegetarians), dairy (lacto-vegetarians) or both (ovo-lacto-vegetarians). Here again, you get usually all te protein you need. Vegans don't eat any kind of animal products. It could be more difficult to get your proteins. Further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetarianism 2) "Guide to vegan proteins Here's a quick run-down of foods that are high in protein, as well as a few suggestions on how to make the most of them. Grains, cereals, rice and wheat protein Grains: Wheat (whole, cracked, bulgar, flakes, bran, germ, semolina, couscous, faro, spelt), amaranth, buckwheat, barley, corn (or maize - sweetcorn, popcorn, polenta), millet, sorghum, oats, rye, quinoa, wild rice Find out more about grains and cereals. Non-dairy 'dairy' products Non-dairy soya milks, almond milks and oat or rice milks can be used in place of animal milk on cereal and in baked goods, shakes and sauces. Many varieties are fortified with calcium and other nutrients and some are low-fat. There are many soy-based cheeses, including the latest ranges which melt in a similar way to cheese made from animal milk. Nuts and seeds Nuts: almonds, brazil nuts, cashew nuts, coconuts, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, peanuts, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios, sweet chestnuts, walnuts Seeds: poppy, pumpkin, sesame, sunflower, linseeds (flax seeds) Linseeds are a particularly good source of an essential fatty acid (called a-linolenic acid) that is important to proper nerve function and can help reduce the symptoms of arthritis and heart disease. Find out more about nuts and seeds. Pulses Peas, beans, lentils Use super-nutritious pulses - fresh, dried or canned - as the basis for a host of satisfying dishes. Find out more about pulses. Tempeh Tempeh is a fermented soya bean paste with a chewy texture and distinctive flavour, and can be used as a meat substitute in recipes. It may be deep-fried, shallow-fried, baked or steamed. It is normally sold frozen. In no circumstances should it be re-frozen if previously defrosted. Textured vegetable protein Textured vegetable protein (TVP) is soya flour that's been processed and dried. A substance with a sponge-like texture, TVP is available either cut into small chunks or ground into granules which resemble minced beef, and can be flavoured to resemble meat. It's prepared simply by mixing with water or vegetable stock and leaving to stand for a few minutes, after which it may be incorporated into recipes as a meat substitute. Soya protein is also available incorporated into vegetarian burgers, sausages, and canned foods. As well as being a good source of fibre and high-quality protein, TVP is fortified with vitamin B12. Tofu Tofu (or soybean curd) is a culinary marvel. Although on its own it tastes rather bland, it easily picks up flavours from other ingredients used in cooking. Tofu is also available ready-flavoured - smoked, spiced or marinated. It is available in firm, soft or 'silken' textures. Tofu is high in protein, vitamins, calcium and other minerals, and is cholesterol-free. Firm tofu is best used as a meat substitute and the softer tofu can be used to make salad dressings, dips and pâtés, puddings, pie fillings, etc. For an extra-chewy, meaty texture, freeze it first, defrost and cook. Wheat protein A useful ingredient for vegans is wheat protein, sometimes called seitan, which is derived from wheat gluten (the protein part of the flour). The gluten is extracted from wheat and then processed to resemble meat. It is more similar to meat in texture than textured vegetable protein and is used as a meat substitute in a range of foods. It is naturally low in fat and can be roasted, baked, stir-fried, stewed or used in sandwiches. For 'die-hards', add lettuce and tomato for an 'SLT'. Look out for wheat protein in health food stores." Source and further information: http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/vegetarian_and_vegan/veganproteins.shtml

There seems to be a myth surrounding protein. First of all, most American's diets are actually too high in protein. Getting your 30 grams with out meat is so easy. Anyways, there are a ton of meat substitutes that are filled with protein and taste great. Try Morning Star Farms Chick' Nuggets, there are fake chicken and steak strips, and fake ground meat (which with taco seasoning, makes a yummy quick burrito). If your not vegan, add some cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese, egg... etc. If you want to be extra healthy skip the dairy and go for some soy or rice milk (it tastes fine over cereal), beans, nuts, and when your ready tofu can be prepared really tastey. But for the start, load up on fake meat products :)

Nuts, legumes, dried fruits, tahini and molasses, nonfat milk and cheese.

1. Consult with a nutritionist or a Naturopathic Doctor who will guide you through the transition to vegetarianism 2. Google 'vegeterian diets'...many, many websites. 3. Go to a good bookstore and find a book which is 'you-friendly' and study it..follow the suggestions carefuly. 4. Go to a really good health food store and talk to a knowledgeable person there. They know a lot about the do's and dont's.

Keep in mind that no one has ever gotten ill or died from lack of protein. If you are only cutting out meat, then you can still get protein from eggs and milk. I was surprised to find out how many grams of protein are in bagels...I love bagels!

Quinoa is an excellent source of vegetarian protein as its a complete protein (like meat) where other sources don't provide all the essential amino acids and you'll have to combine different foods to get complete protein (like rice and beans)

Have you read that book Skinny Bitch? They have some recommendations including spirulina which I plan on trying. I've been a veg for years but not a hardcore vegan.
