THANX IN ADVANCE!
Also you HAVE TO HAVE TO HAVE TO take a vitamin every day (like Flinstones or Bugs Bunny found at your local grocery store) or you won't get all of those supplements that you're supposed to get when you eat meat. [ tingrin22192's advice column | Ask tingrin22192 A Question ]

xo_dream answered Tuesday September 21 2004, 8:55 pm: Peanuts, some other nuts, peanut butter, cheese + yogurt [ i think? ], protein shakes, soy products, etc. You get protein from more places than you probably think, so I'm sure you're not *too* unhealthy if it hasn't made you sick yet. If you're still worried though, just go to a doctor + they can do tests + stuff. [ xo_dream's advice column | Ask xo_dream A Question ]
MoonFisher answered Tuesday September 21 2004, 4:44 pm: You are very unhealthy. Without protein you can become anemic and very ill. Try eating beans, soy products, cheeses (if you eat dairy) and nuts. Lightly roasted, unsalted nuts can taste good in a salad and are a good source of protein.

LilMia811 answered Tuesday September 21 2004, 2:11 pm: You can be a vegetarian and still healthy. If you think you are lacking protein, try taking a daily vitamin. Also, beans, peanut butter, and all nuts have protein in them too. There are also protien shakes, but I'm not sure if thats an option for you because they have milk in them, and you may not eat dairy. [ LilMia811's advice column | Ask LilMia811 A Question ]
mysticpixie05 answered Tuesday September 21 2004, 9:36 am: no, its not unhealthy. You can get protein in alot of foods that arent meat...
Peanuts are a really good source of protein.
and soy foods are also a really good way to get protein. you could try some protein shakes. Hope this helped. [ mysticpixie05's advice column | Ask mysticpixie05 A Question ]
HollyAnn2282 answered Tuesday September 21 2004, 1:31 am: You can get protien from a bunch of other foods... Next time you eat something look on the package and see how much it has.. you'll be suprised how much protien you get. Just be careful sometimes you dont get enough.

Sherry answered Tuesday September 21 2004, 12:03 am: You should drink protien shakes. Their for diets mostly, but you need your protien. Also talk to your doctor about other ways you can get protien.. [ Sherry's advice column | Ask Sherry A Question ]
