No meat, no problem.

A little context: The USDA recommends women between the ages of 19-30 on a 2,000 calorie-per-day diet eat 46 grams of protein a day, and for men of the same age, 56 grams protein per day. A table of exactly how much protein you need for your age and body can be found here.

Keep in mind that not all proteins are created equal. It will take a larger amount of leafy greens to make you full than, say, beans. But i you're looking for a few extra grams here or there along with the vitamins and nutrients that veggies provide, consider adding getting even more involved with the ones on this list!
