Lecture Notes
So where do we get the protein that we need for our bodies? Protein comes in many, many different sources, and the first sources that often pop into people's minds are meat, milk, eggs, and fish, but it's important to note that protein needs can be met by eating non-animal products as well, or by combining animals and non-animal products.
So some ways to get protein sources that are not animal products include beans, tofu, lentils, and some grains such as quinoa and bulgar. Click on the link here, and you can see lots of great sources of vegan forms of protein.
