Beans have protein, you can have fat-free as well.

I do think there is some quality fish if its wild and from an area like Alaska or Canada.
I going back to eating fish, the problem is alot of places have farm raised in California, and I like sashimi. Or they have fish from Vietnam.
In the east coast the fish was better quality. I don't understand why California can't get wild fish from Hawaii.

I don't like tofu much and recently I've heard a study where there's a correlation between too much soy and breast cancer.
Furthermore, I was totally exhausted from riding a bike for a couple of hours yesterday.
Generally I have more endurance and recovery the next day.
I just don't think I'm getting enough protein.
Of course that's not vegetarian.

Its alot healthier than meat, with hormones, antibotics, and aren't there studies that show a correlation between cancer and eating meat?
I feel bad for cows and birds, somehow I don't think fish feel pain.

The eggs I'm still on the fence about. They seem to have alot problems with freshness and people getting sick from salomenella.

Any helpful information regarding these topics are appreciated . thanks

I think you have numerous misconceptions about nutrition. You can get sufficient protein from a plant based diet. There are complete proteins in the plant world. Protein is one aspect of a healthy diet. The importance of protein tends to be over emphasized.

On the veagn athlete front, some great info can be found in Brendan Brazier's "The Thrive Diet". He's a professional ironman triathelete who is also vegan. I'd wager to say that he is fitter than the vast majority of people here.
