PROTEIN SOURCES FOR YOUR MEATLESS DIET

This could go very quickly, if you’re eating a healthy variety of vegetables overall, then you’re getting everything that you need, and there is no need to focus on protein in particular.

The end.

This could also go very quickly if you insist that you need protein for workouts, and you still eat dairy. 

Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, eggs. The end.

However, if you gave up dairy completely or are trying to cut back, here are lists of protein-heavy fruits and vegetables to keep on your radar. They are listed from highest protein content to lowest. Please keep in mind, that the human body was not created to require extremely high amounts of protein. People may claim they need more in order to “bulk up” or weight lift, but that ideal is simply based on a desired aesthetic. We do not need protein, or anything else, in abundance over other nutrients. Balance is key, and over everything, trust what your body is telling you.
