Vegetarians and Protein

Being a vegetarian can definitely be challenging! It is extremely important to be diligent about making sure you’re getting enough protein, and that the protein is coming from the right sources. Looking for a few protein sources? Fiber-filled beans and lentils, protein-packed tempeh (a fermented-soybean paste), and Miso (also a fermented-soybean paste) will help you reach your goal of consuming approximately 30 percent of your daily calories from protein.
