Hitting a protein target on a vegetarian diet is very doable — you just need to know where the protein hides and put a little in every meal.
The best vegetarian protein sources
- Eggs and dairy (Greek yogurt, cottage cheese)
- Tofu, tempeh, and edamame
- Lentils, chickpeas, and black beans
- Paneer and cheese
- Whole grains like quinoa for a protein boost
Spread it across the day
It's easier to hit your number with protein at breakfast, lunch, and dinner than to cram it into one meal. Greek yogurt in the morning and beans at lunch add up fast.
Don't forget the budget
Vegetarian protein is some of the cheapest there is — dry beans and lentils especially. You can eat high-protein and spend less.
