Switching to plant-based eating does not mean sacrificing protein. Here are the top sources to include in your daily meals.

• Lentils and legumes: One cup of cooked lentils provides about 18g of protein, plus fiber and iron.
• Tofu and tempeh: Tempeh leads with 20g of protein per 100g, while tofu offers a versatile 8g per serving.
• Quinoa: A complete protein containing all nine essential amino acids, with 8g per cooked cup.
• Chickpeas and edamame: Great for salads and snacks, delivering 10-15g of protein per serving.

Combining different plant proteins throughout the day ensures you get all essential amino acids without relying on meat.
