Boca burgers are pretty good and high protein. You can even make your own patties

... Kinda but more bland you can get them at any market or a Walmart
I have not eatin meat in well over 8 years and LOVE it (as in love not eating it)
honestly I'm to tired right now to type out a book lol, but ill come back with some tips this week, ill bookmark this thread.
Kidney beans bro. Fibre + protein.
I do a lot of chilli con carn using lean pork or chkn mince, but loaded in black beans, kidney beans, lentils and chickpeas. Tastes good man!
Garbanzo beans(chick peas)
Spinach is a great source of protein
[. Spinach is a great source of protein and I love mixing it with eggplant.
good man, i could never give up my love for chicken steaks and beef ect but i do want to start eating more vegetarian type bb'ing meals especially when im cutting i dont know much about the veggie bb'ing diet but can imagine the calories are not as high per meal as a big slab of meat lol.... so could come in handy especially for cutting plus its just something different to try!

I LOVE making these. but i warn you calorie dense ;-)
Ha thanks, I plan to add more to this thread, maybe I can grow it up nice and big with calorie dense food and veggie foods.
SO damn busy this week though, but over this month i hope what I add helps out some members here with diet or even bulkign ideas.
I am a food nut (food is a love of mine), and am always the "cook" but I never really follow cook books much, so its odd for me to brake it down since i go by skill/flow/knowhow when cooking and 99% of the time its awesome (im told anyway and i taste it so i agree) the odd fuk up her and there, but thats like couple times a year so no biggie.
I am happy I am not being attacked for being a veggie, I avoid mentioning it too much on the bbing forums because... well thats prob the last place most expect a veggie to be.... other then the butcher shop lol
but hey Im growing so I am doing something right!
Keep an eye out for more food ideas comming soon when I have more time (work pc ;-) )
I guess it depends upon how much protein per serving you are looking for. I drink whey to get most of mine. I also found a boca type burger that has 20 gms per serving plus i count the protein in the bun and the cheese and come in a 30/30 with carbs and proteins so that is good. If you want to supplement and avoid adding dairy you can buy rice protein from the vitamin shoppe and it had 12 gms per tablespoon. Add that to almond milk and you can substitute a good portion of your protein.
For you curious types. I just passed one year as a veggie lover and have had zero losses in muscle and strength, my recovery time is shorter, my energy levels are higher and cholesterol and triglycerides are all within normal ranges now. They were through the roof but diet, minimal exercise and zero meds have made me a believer!!
Two favorite recipes. Not high in protein but still delicious. Just add your protein into other "snacks" and it will be easier.
