Vegetarians: where do you get the proteins (no trolling)?

Question

I want to incorporate more vegetarian meals in my diet, but I don't know how to make them different. Every time I end up doing lentils (or other legumes). I never know what to do with tofu (I dislike soy sauce). Tempeh is too expensive for me. What else is there for me to try?

Answer

Nuts
Rice 
Quinoa
Beans
Tofu
Seeds

Answer

I do brinner a lot, eggs and toast with peanut butter. When I’m especially lazy I throw together brown rice, black beans, Mexican cheese, and Tony’s seasoning. It’s delicious, cheap, and packed with protein. I also try to get my protein in my snacks, with shakes, cheese sticks, almonds, etc.

Answer

Black beans, eggs, brown rice, wheat products, cottage cheese (high amounts of slow burning protein, I eat it as a snack because of the low calories), spinach, peanut butter powder (pb2 brand, high protein with low calories, mix it into a smoothie)
I was a vegetarian for the first 25 years of my life. Although I eat meat now for health reasons I still eat mainly those things for a good protein boost in all my meals.
