Interesting web site for the vegetarians in my life. Most people criticize the vegetarian lifestyle, claiming that it is difficult to get enough protein. While I agree, that vegetarians should be aware of their protein intake, the vegetarians in my life are quite healthy.

This web site has a small table, of common vegetarian food sources and their protein amounts.

“The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for protein for the average, sedentary adult is only 0.4 grams per pound of body weight. To find out your average individual need, simply perform the following calculation:

Body weight (in pounds) X 0.4 = recommended protein intake

EXAMPLE: A 130-pound person needs about 52 grams of protein per day”
