Vegetarians, what is your main source of protein?

[WhoisntBi]

I get most of mine from beans & pulses but I know not everyone likes them, also what's your favourite vegetarian food/dish?

[GoldenSunshine]

Most of the vegetarian products in the supermarket already have a lot of protein in it. Also I eat beans sometimes.

Favorite vegetarian food... chocolate :D But otherwhise I guess it's pastasallad because you can vary the ingrediences a lot :)

Beans, whole complex grains like grown rice, quinoa

I take soy/pea/sachi ichi protein powder, beans, rice, pasta, grains, seeds, and nuts. Some are complete and some are incomplete.

Definitely going to have to say, a simple block of cheap ramen. Its such a horrible amazing treat lol.

the whole "complete protein" thing is actually a myth.

@creativeusername101

Elaborate, a protein is composed of amino acids, some have all of them, some do not. Or at least minute amounts. At least thats what I know so far.

[creativeusername101]

I mean the idea that you actually needvto eat complete proteins everyday. it doesn 't actually matter, your body doesn't just run out of amini acids everyday. and depending on your individual needs you may need more or less or even better off completly avoiding certain amino acids to stay healthy.

some fitness guy came up with the concept of complete proteins years ago and people just started following and obsessing over it.

since i am a fitness enthusiasm, i take egg and tempe (if you know what it is) for my primary protein source
beacuse it's cheap in my country

nuts/seeds, greens and other non starchy vegetables. I noticed when I ate a lot of legumes and rice I became moody after most of the time :/ and tending to bloat a ton. I definetly prefer it this way better.

also, if I'm getting extra exercise on a particular day I use hemp protein.

Anything made of rice, and ground nuts, or peanuts, are my favorite. And of course, milk and curd.

[itsme_goodsamaritan]

And oh yeah, all kinds of dry fruits.

Tofu, beans, and I eat eggs as well
