The short answer is: YES! Vegetarians do not eat much aminal protein (depending on how strict he or she is with their diet), and so must get their protein from other sources, such as soy and tofu. This is most difficult for vegans, who do not consume any animal products (even honey!), but is still possible. Many people who do not eat red meat (beef, chicken, or pork) style themselves vegetarian, but still consume enough fish and dairy products to make up for that.

Even for vegans, there are plenty of protein sources abound. Beans, nuts, and many vegetables (such as cabbage and kale) are high in protein. Some nutritionists doubt the effectiveness of these types of protein, but they have been used successfully by many vegan athletes.
