I'm not a parent but due to a recent family tragedy I am taking care of my 5 year old cousin temporarily. Her doctor wants her on a high protein diet so most of our family is really pushing chicken and eggs. Can you all give some vegetarian/vegan high protein suggestions for me.

Sorry to hear about the loss!

Suggestions? I'm temped to say get a new doctor, but I should probably know more about the kid first. Why did he recommend more protein? Usually MDs are the last people you want nutritional advice from. I'd recommend reading about the protein myth and the complete protein myth.
