How do I get enough protein as a vegetarian or vegan?

Build meals around tofu, tempeh, legumes, lentils, soy milk, Greek yogurt or eggs (if you eat them), and add a plant protein powder if you struggle. Combining different plant sources through the day covers all the amino acids.

You may need slightly more total protein from plants, as they are a little less digestible. It is very achievable, but it takes planning.
