Proteins
This is my link of proteins for you:
Quinoa- key with amino acids. Just one cup of cooked quinoa contains 18 grams of protein, as well as nine grams of fibre.
Whole Grains- Other whole grains, including whole grain bread, brown rice, barely are all healthy protein-rich foods for vegetarians and vegans as well.
Beans and Lentils- All beans, lentils, and peas are an excellent vegetarian and vegan source of protein, so eat whichever one you like! Black beans, kidney beans, Soy beans, split pea soup and chickpea hummus - pick one and watch the protein grams add up.
Tofu and Soy- Soy is such a flavour chameleon that you'll never get bored! You may have tried tofu and soy milk before, but what about edamame?
Nuts, seeds and Nut butters- Nuts, including peanuts, cashews, almonds and walnuts all contain protein, as do seeds such as sesame seeds and sunflower seeds. Most nuts and seeds are high in fat so are best as a snack. Then of course everyone has heard of peanut butter

The Truth Behind Quorn
So many will have become vegetarian because of environmental needs. Unfortunately, the yummy meat substitute of Quorn is actually not just made of mushrooms. It's actually grown in large fermented tanks. They extract micro-proteins and use them to make foods that taste very much like meat.
A handy website to learn more about the truth of quorn would be: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/dietandfitness/3318997/Whats-the-truth-about...-Quorn.html
