A Vegetarian Diet Should Contain Sufficient Levels of Protein?
Many people follow a vegetarian diet because it can be a healthy way to eat. When eliminating meat from one's diet, vegetarians should still keep their nutritional needs in mind. Because protein in a omniverious diet is obtained primarily from meats, vegetarians should look to foods high in protein to meet their protein needs. These foods include soybeans and soy products such as tofu, legumes such as peas and hard shell beans, seeds and nuts and a variety of whole grains. Lacto-ovo vegetarians should consume milk, cheese and yogurt, along with eggs, to obtain sufficient protein intake.
Should vegetarians drink protein shakes?
Protein shakes are doubtlessly of nutritional value to many vegetarians, but I would not say that all vegetarians should necessarily drink them, because there are various ways of obtaining a sufficient amount of protein in your diet without having to eat meat. For example, some vegetarians still eat dairy products (food made from milk) even though it is of animal origin; it is still not meat, and cows are not harmed by being milked. Cheese is very high in protein. Even for those vegetarians who do not eat dairy products, there are ways of combining carefully chosen vegetable foods in order to obtain usable protein. Tofu, made from soy beans, is also a good source of protein (not as good as cheese). But shakes are good.

What is the Queen of whole grains that is a protein for vegetarians?

How do vegetarians make sure they get the right amount of protein?
Meat is not the only food with protein.
Are beans the best or only protein replacements for meat in a vegetable diet?
Good sources of protein for vegetarians include nuts and seeds, pulses, soya products (tofu, soya milk and textured soya protein such as soya mince), cereals (wheat, oats, and rice), free-range eggs and some dairy products (milk, cheese and yoghurt).
Should nuts play an important role in the diet of all vegetarians?
Yes, Because Nuts are high in protein and Vegetarians need extra protein as they dont eat meat.
Why must vegetarians be careful about the amount protein in their diet?
Hidden meat products are in apparently vegetarian products--for example Yoplait yogurt has gelatin in it which is derived from animal tissue. Hot Cheetos probably has pork flavoring (except the giant puffs). Also, vegetarians need to be careful not to overdo the simple carbohydrates (easy on the ice cream!) and get enough protein, iron, and vitamin B12.
What is myco protein?
A type of fungi that has a high level of protein. This can be used as a meat substitute for vegetarians because of this high level of protein.
Vegetarians are able to eat all the necessary nutrients needed by their body?
Yes. Even though meat is a great source of protein, vegetarians can find protein in nuts or beans and other non-meat food.
