Hello DiS vegetarians and whichever of you have clicked on this thread to call me a pussy or otherwise insult my masculinity...

I've recently opted to become (mostly) vegetarian for a few reasons I'm not going to go into here (but rest assured they have nothing to do with sympathy for dead animals or any such thing). I like it fine, it's stretching my cooking skills and making me more creative and I feel pretty healthy and happy etc etc

BUT. I'm struggling to work out where I'm getting enough protein in: I eat cheese, mushrooms, pulses etc but as a skint student buying a lot of dairy products is pretty expensive and it all gets a bit boring after a while.

So wondered if anyone would be kind enough to recommend some good sources of protein...as a scrawny type I really need to keep my levels up especially as I've gone on some new exercise drive of late. Any recipes or hints or tips would also be welcome.

Thanks in advance!
