Many of us who are vegetarians or vegans are often advised by others, many of whom are less informed than we, that we need to make sure we get enough protein. In America, unless one is malnourished, getting enough protein is seldom a problem. And too much is bad for us. I'd never say to a diabetic "You're a diabetic? Oh, make sure that you don't eat any sugar!" I'd never tell people that beef fat clogs arteries. Well, maybe I just did.
For those who want a way to figure out how much protein they need, here's a handy Protein Calculator .
A good article on Protein Information.
Here is a list, from Wellsphere, of high protein foods. This will be a good guide for choosing from the vegetarian/vegan foods for those who want to find good sources of protein. Obviously not all of the foods in the list are vegetarian, but it is a good comparison of vegetarian and non-vegetarian foods.
