Vegetarian Protein?

I have been finding meat no longer tastes good and that I am transitioning into a vegetarian diet. I know I need protein, but how to do I go about it?



And to make matters interesting, I'm a highly picky eater, so I won't eat eggs, fish, or beans, I'm also a terrible cook, and can burn water. I've been trying tofu with no luck what so ever.



What other foods are an option?Vegetarian Protein?
Nuts, (peanut butter etc) are good sources of protein. Also eat seitan (its wheat gluten fake meat) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seitan

fake meat, quorn, boca, morningstar, tofurky, yves, are all brands of fake meat that are good, morningstar and boca are probably ones you can find at a regular grocery store. Or even use smart ground, a substitute for ground meat.

heres some good tofu ideas

Try breading a baking tofu or making a sauce for it.Vegetarian Protein?
soy
Mushrooms are high in protein. You can also make protein shakes with powdered protein.
Wow! Beans, grains and greens make up almost perfect protein. Try Tempeh.
Boca products and Morningstar Farms can be found in any large grocers and I eat them most of the time. I don't care for the ';burger'; styles because I don't care for burgers but the sausage links and patties and the black bean patties (picante!) or fake chicken patties (nuggets, buffalo wings...) are great.
You can make protein shakes with that powder they sell at GNC. Sperm banks deal in protein too - zing.
you can get protein from many other sources besides meat. soy, nuts, legumes, and other foods can supply your protein needs. I like Boca products or Morningstar Farms. you can microwave them. Amy's is also good.
well, i used to have this same problem. tofu is one option, and you might not like plain tofu, but they also make it in flavors! there's hot and spicy, teriyaki, and some other stuff. also, you could just stick with all the soy products. just go to a grocery store, you'll find it! one of my favorite brands is morningstar farms. they make soy chicken, sausage, ribs, anything you could imagine! and its all meatless. if you just try some differnt things your bound to find something you like.
Soy beans and walnuts are a complete propien combination. You have to eat both in a day.
If you can't cook, then you should try Morning Star Farms new frozen ';Mushroom Lovers Burger'; Patties. They taste just like meat %26amp; you pop them in the microwave for 90 seconds %26amp; they taste so much like real meat, that it is almost wrong to eat them! If you don't want any taste of meat, then I suggest that you try Dr. Praegers Veggie Burgers. They don't taste like meat, but they are a great replacement food that has high protein. Dr. Praegers heart healthy burger replacement is also in the frozen food section, but you have to find a health food storee that stocks it in your area. Morning Star is everywhere, since the Kellogg Company distributes it! Good luck!
You can do cheeses, milk products, soy joghurt and milk, rice and corn (make a complete protein with beans), legumes, nuts and seeds and their butters. Or you could get you some protein powder if you really fear to not get enough protein...
Try quorn, and also try 'disguising' eggs in food. Remember, caskes contain eggs ^_^
1. Vegetarians dont eat fish anyway, so you are off the hook.

2. Everything has protein but whole grains and nuts are great sources. (whole grain bread, whole wheat pasta, peanut butter etc)
Eggs, Fish %26amp; Beans! Sorry, but those foods are excellent sources of protein!
I think you' re down to sperm.
