I actually find it very easy to get enough protein as a vegetarian. There are so many things you can get it from, such as dairy, legumes, soy, TVP, etc. I love having hard-boiled eggs or greek yogurt in the morning. For lunch you can just add some beans or hummus to your salad or sandwich. For dinner you can have a stir-fry with tofu or tvp. For snacks you can have a handful of nuts, some peanut butter, or a glass of soy milk. All these combined give you more than enough daily protein. Lately my schedule has changed and I've been busier, but if you plan your meals out there will be no room for screwing up. I've discovered and particularly love the ready-made brand Tasty Bite, because the meals are preservative-free, all natural, low fat/sodium/calorie, are made from simple ingredients, don't need to be refrigerated, and only take 90 seconds to cook. I'm especially in love with their Madras Lentils, which have tons of protein. I definitely recommend them for a vegetarian on the go and as a brand that really makes sure each meal is well balanced. Thanks for the great article! Cheers!
