Vegetarian Star

Brendan Hines recently became a pescatarian who thinks he may one day stop salivating for flipper as well.

“Soon, eventually, I will maybe consider phasing out the fish, but right now it’s the only thing giving me protein,” Hines told MNN.

Unlike Common, the actor who plays Eli Loker, an expert in deception detection in Lie To Me, doesn’t grasp the fact that fish is meat.

Even more insane, why does Hines think these endangered little fishies are the only items that will give him protein? Somebody tell this guy to take on the role of a nutritionist so he can study up for the part!

The UK Vegetarian Society has listed various non-animal sources of protein, mostly vegan, along with the amount of protein in a serving of each source and whether the amount is considered good, fair or poor.

Chickpeas, beans, tofu and lentils rank highest, with brown rice containing a fair amount of protein that might need buffing up with a little stir fry tofu.

They’ve even gone so far as to list combinations you can eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner to get the minimum recommended daily allowance.

There are plenty of plant sources of protein. You don’t  have to eat fish.

And that’s no deception.

Victoria Moran recently sat down with some veg food loving eco chicks to discuss all things protein.

The ladies, Emily Deschanel, Marilu Henner, Mariel Hemingway, and Chloe Jo Berman, named a few of their favorite concentrated sources of protein.

Here is a list the gals drafted.

* leafy greens
* beans, especially in chili
* hemp seeds
* seitan
* tempeh
* hummus
* quinoa

We’re thinking you could jot these down and make the list your “cheat sheet” in case you can’t decide what to eat for your next meal.

For you professional vegs who reach into the cabinet and pull a super protein meal or snack together without realizing it, maybe there’s something on here you’ve forgotten about.

Regardless of where you stand in vegetarian knowledge, this list could always come in handy when you get the ever so annoying question from your Big Mac lovin’ cousins of, “How do you get your protein?
