Proteins are the building blocks of life as they promote cell growth and repair. If you are to lose weight, protein is a rich source of energy as it takes longer to digest and keeps you feel fuller for a longer time. But have you decided to go meatless once a week or turn completely vegetarian and afraid that you may not get the adequate amount of protein?

Here are 10 good vegetarian and vegan sources that will add protein to your daily diet.

Dairy is affordable, provides you calcium and Vitamin D besides the essential protein.
