    You don't have to be a carnivore to get your proteins. It does seem a bit wasteful to eat egg whites and not the yolks, which are packed with essential nutrients. Eggs are a good source of low-cost high-quality protein, providing 5.5 grams of protein (11.1% of the daily value for protein) in one egg for a caloric cost of only 68 calories.

    Protein is found in both the yolk and the white.

    Egg yolks are the richest source of choline which is important to keep the liver healthy among other rhings.

    Good vegetarian foods containing protein

    Nuts, pulses, seeds,soy, dairy products (milk, cheese, yogurt), whole grains, broccoli aso...

    The deficiency in one source can be made up by including another source of protein in the diet. For instance, whole grains are deficient in lysine whereas pulses lack methionine. But, by combining whole grains with pulses, it is possible to supply the body with all the essential amino acids it needs. So, a varied vegetarian diet supplies all the essential amino acids and proteins that your body needs.
