How should vegans get their protein?

Protein Sources for Vegans

Protein from animal sources tend to be "complete" proteins, while proteins from plant sources tend to be "incomplete" proteins. It is important for vegan vegetarian (those who do not consume any animal products) to eat a variety of whole grains and soy foods throughout the day to make "complete" proteins for their bodies. These complementary proteins do not need to be consumed all at one meal but rather throughout the day.
