   Macro-nutrients    June 29, 2018  |  2

I routinely see comments about vegetarian folks tired of eating paneer / cottage cheese for protein and who would love to know of other sources of protein. Here’s a list of sources of protein for vegetarians. Please tap the table headers to sort the contents.

This table

  • contains practical sources of protein. This means it may contain paneer/cottage cheese, of which it is possible to practically consume 100 gm in a day, it will not contain butter (just an example, there's not that much protein in there) of which consuming a 100 gm in a day just isn't feasible.
  • also contains eggs, which many vegetarians now include in their diets.
  • is not a complete list and includes a limited number of suggestions. There are more.
  • is based on searching the above data source for protein and including the top vegetarian sources, in order to find which I have to write computer programs, and which by their nature can contain errors. Please always double check from the source mentioned in case I've made a mistake.
