hi rainbowbrite,
i'm not a vegetarian, but like you, i don't like to eat meat. i have the same problem about protein. my doctors and acupuncturist all tell me i need more protein. i don't know if they know this from blood tests or just by looking at me. anyway, the bad news i got is this-- nothing substitutes for protein found in meat. i like tofu or peanut butter and such, and even though they have decent amounts of protein, the doctors say meat is best. i'm trying, but i am just not a fan. i also drink ensure shakes, a few a day. hope this helps.
