due to not being able to tolerate meat or fish now im looking at being veggie now im a bit lost as to what other things have the protein or whatever it is you get from meat lol i also dont like pulses beans so im a it lost as to what to eat help!

Dairy, eggs & nuts are good sources of protein. What about prawns? They are really high in protein as well as low fat. You could also consider protein supplements like bars and shakes as a way to get in protein. What about sliced sandwhich meat? That is an easy/quick way to get in some protein and most people find it easy to digest as long as you chew & eat slowly.

HTH

Also quorn/tofu/tvp. If you make a veggie curry/casserole you can add colour co-ordinated lentils or peas and you won't even notice them, especially if you use a slow cooker. I add them to bolognaise/chilli etc and my husband and son don't know

Whizz up chickpeas to make humous, or make a nice soup with peas/beans in and blend it so you don't get the texture.

I always have a bag of frozen prawn in my freezer, they are like my new best friend! I have them about 3 times a week or more. You can use a bit of light mayo or yogurt and some spices and you have a lovely snack/meal. Also they are brilliant in almost any sauce just add them right before you are done heating the sauce so they don't go tough. They are a lifesaver and yummy!!!

Lol, I don't much like chickpeas on their own! Butterbeans are lovely in homemade tomato soup though, all blitzed up.
