What can I eat to replace the proteins in meat?

I’m 13 and I’ve been a Vegetarian for almost a year (I started on January 1st of 2009), but my family and friends worry because I’m very skinny. What are some foods that I can eat to replace the proteins in meat?

Answer #1

Eat nuts. They are in the meat group (or is it protein group?) anyways they have a notable amount of protein.

Answer #2

Milk Soy Milk Eggs Cheese Yogurt Peanut Butter Beans, Tofu, Lentils, and other Legumes Grains, including bread and pasta Nuts and Seeds

hope it helps im a vegetarian too so you got nothing to worry about ;)

Answer #3

spinach. Vegetarians can also eat chicken and turkey, assuming you aren’t a vegan. Also try some smart foods (just google smart foods) and things that taste like meat but are made of vegetables, because often they have the needed protein. Things like vegeburgers and this brand of lunch meat called smart(name of meat) for example smart bologna.

Answer #4

you can buy different pills that you are meant to take if you are a veggo. like iron, calcium etc. I used to be a veggo and after a while I got really sick so I started taking some deficiency tablets and took one everyday and it helped.

Answer #5

Hi there, you can eat mushrooms (they say they are the vegetarians meat), avocados, milk, EGGS. These are complete proteins, meaning they have the higest percentage of protein, the most GOOD fats and the least carbs, which is essentialy the best for your body. Hope this helps

Answer #6

Vegetarians do not eat chicken or turkey. A vegan is someone who will not eat products made by living creatures (like eggs). A vegetarian is someone who does not eat mean. Chicken and turkey are both types of meat.

Eggs, milk, spinach, soybean, quinoa, meat, fish, whole grains, rice, beans, legumes, corn, oats, peas and peanut butter are good sources of high protein foods. http://www.fatfreekitchen.com/nutrition/high-protein-foods.html
