Common Questions and Answers about High in protein foods vegetarian
protein
There are a million foods made out of soy and other legumes, high in protein. Bananas -- lots of energy, high in electrolytes. Seeds -- hemp seeds most complete vegetable protein, even more complete than soy. Whole grain pasta -- you can get it made out of brown rice, spelt, kamut, amaranth, even with protein added from legumes. There's a world of food out there.
There are many good vegetarian protein sources. Nuts, beans, higher protein whole grains and seeds and grain-like foods. I'd go buy a few books on vegetarian cooking. But know that not everyone is equipped to do well as a vegetarian -- most vegetarians do it for ideological reasons and it is harder to get all your nutrients as a vegetarian, particularly methionine and B12, so you do have to learn how to do it well.
I eat veggies and fruits. I'm a Type 1 Diabetic and need to lose some weight. My doctor says I don't get enough protein in my diet to lose weight. I'm not a big fan of beans. What is a good source of protein for my case?

One cup of cooked soybeans has 29 grams of protein, according to The Vegetarian Resource Group. Soy products, such as tofu and tempeh, are derived from the soybean, and can replace meat in some recipes. An expanding market for soy products means you can find soy hot dogs, burgers, bacon and sausage at your super market.
Beans, like black, kidney, lima and baked beans all have more than 10 grams of protein per cup.
Do an Internet search for high protein vegetarian meals. I couldn't eat meat for awhile and found some really yummy options, like cheese lasagna or a bean and cheese quesadilla. Quinoa is also a really high protein grain.
Suggest for your anemia that you take iron supplements to get it under control and then eat foods high in the iron to maintain it in normal limits. I recommend you read up on vegetarian and combinations of starches / vegetables and beans / nuts for protein, calcium, and other nutrients. Good sources of information are the American Dietetic Association website, www.eatright.org and Vegetarian Resource Group website, www.vrg.
You can take care of your body as a vegan; however, you need to be vigilant in eating the combination foods and eating enough food daily so your body gets the protein, and nutrients it needs. As a vegetarian you should be getting all your vitamins and minerals from the foods you ate except Vitamin B12 and maybe Calcium (if you have a history of bone disease in your family).
Great advice as always from the above poster.
My mother is also diabetic and she gradually became a vegetarian. It has been so very good for her health. Her blood sugar is always great, her A1C levels are great. She also has autoimmune hepatitis and every time she has blood work her numbers keep getting better.
Do what the above poster said, do as much research as you can and consult with a nutritionist.You have to know what foods are good for you since you have diabetes.
Hi,
I too suggest you to avoid caffeine as it may cause some dangerous effects. And being a vegetarian you should be careful in your health because you wont get all needed nutrients from veg foods that you have written that you have been cutting backed on sugar, cheese and eggs for past one month which clears that you have no taken any protein rich food.
You can take supplements, however, you would benefit more from the foods you eat. Suggest eating a moderate fat diet to gain weight slowly, protein (amino acids) and eat healthy. Moderate fat diet means = use polyunsaturated (omega 3, corn oil, nuts, etc) fats and monounsaturated (olive oil, canola oil, peanut oil, etc) fats, no saturated fats (high fat snack foods, butter, fat spreads) and no trans fats.
Protein is an essential part of your diet and if you are skipping meat then you should try something like tofu or similar non vegetarian protein food to aid in your weight loss. Not only protein can curb your hunger but also can help you build muscles ( if you are working out) to burn more calories.
Very very very normal in your first trimester and even Into your second. There are ways around it, I found protein shakes worked really good for me. Because the smell or thought of meat made me sick. Plus you can mix in veggies like spinach and other veggies the contain.protein and it doesn't taste like them. Try and eat protein rich foods, like beans! I couldn't stomach eggs until my third trimester. Read up on protein high foods.. it doesn't have to be just meat and dairy.
Im a vegetarian but since being pregnant ive been really fussy! :| i believe thats why i got anemia during my pregnancy. I find it so hard to find stuff i like! Id never eat meat though!
I'm not a vegetarian but I could be easily. There are plenty of foods to get good nutrition from in addition to taking your prenatals. Just research what amounts of what you should be taking in.
I am a former vegetarian of 5 years. When I was a vegetarian I was not being very responsible in regards to getting adequate nutrition which caused my thyroid to become imbalanced. I lost 15 pounds in one month, and I didn’t weigh very much to being with. I felt very, very sick and consequently started eating meat again. I still feel that animal abuse is wrong, but you can get meat from local farmers where you know how the animals are treated.
Follow a low protein, high carbohydrate diet; minimize consumption of foods of animal origin. Eliminate milk and milk products. Avoid all polyunsaturated vegetable oils, margarine, vegetable shortening and products made with partially hydrogenated oils Increase intake of omega-3 fatty acids by eating more cold-water fish, walnuts or freshly ground flaxseeds. You may also want to consider taking a fish oil supplement to help keep your protein intake low.
Are there any other vegetarian mums to be out there? I'm 7 weeks 1 day and I'm starting to get cravings, but what I'm craving is meat :( I'm really wanting red meat and chicken. I'm trying to eat lots of iron and protein rich foods to curb the cravings but it's not working!
