HOW TO GET PROTEIN OTHER THAN FROM MEAT

MEAT IS NOT THE ONLY SOURCE OF PROTEIN

For years, i have heard people touting that the main sources of protein was beef and other animal 

products. I knew this to not be the fact, because there is a wealth of alternatives to getting our daily

supply of protein without compromising our vegan or vegetarian lifestyle. I personally am not either

vegetarian nor vegan, but i do continue to strive and limit the amount of animal products that i consume,especially beef. -brother teacher

(They also take longer to digest than carbohydrates, helping you feel fuller for longer and on fewer calories—a plus for anyone trying to lose weight.) You probably know that animal products—meat, eggs and dairy—are good sources of protein; unfortunately, they can also be high in saturated fat and cholesterol. What you may not know is that you don't need to eat meat or cheese to get enough protein. Here are 14 good vegetarian and vegan sources, and tips on how to add them to your diet today.
