Going Vegitarian

I've cut out all meat for a week and a half now. What a good way to get protein without it?

Every time legumes like beans, Lentils and peanuts are combined with wheat, rice, or corn a complete protein is created and there are many good recipes on the internet that incorporate these into a tasty dish, where you might not otherwise like them by themselves.  You might also like protein shakes from whey or soy, plus there are various protein bars that do not use animal products.  Be sure to read the ingredients before buying them.
Seitan is another popular protein source of vegetarians.  It has 36 grams per half cup, so a little goes a long way.  
Tofu and tempeh are two other protein choices to incorporate into your dishes.

One way for you to add protein into your diet is to eat: Quinoa. It is a type of grain that provides 9 grams of protein per cup.
