Vegitarian Sources of Protein

[DoubleD_1990]

So far I've been eating Eggs, soy baloney, 26g of whey protein(sometimes 52g depending on my workout), cottage cheese, almonds, and peanut butter for my sources of protein, but I can barely get in 130g of Protein per day. My body weight is 163lbs and I'm working towards my 150lbs ideal weight for my BMI. My question for anyone knowledgable on vegi bodybuilder is what other sources of protein should I be consuming?

yea if it fits into your calories/macros. Cottage Cheese and PB is goo or just plain cottage cheese is a good prebed meal.

I actually have to lower my cholestorol levels >.< kind of embarassing to say at age 18. Also budget issues.

My Calorie intake is like 1500 without trying...so I could stand to add more calories in the AM part of my diet at least.

A few Quinoa grains close up.Quinoa was of great nutritional importance in pre-Columbian Andean civilizations, being secondary only to the potato, and was followed in importance by maize. In contemporary times, this crop has become highly appreciated for its nutritional value, as its protein content is very high (12%?18%),
