It's a real trick for vegans who do muscular exercise to get the
protein in to support those muscles. As you have found, a lot of times
it comes back to soy. And too bad if you don't like soy all the time!
However peas are also supposed to be good. There's a protein
supplement powder by Naturade called "Veg Protein Booster " that
includes pea and rice protein, although it is still mostly soy in
there. And then there are nuts and beans. You have to be careful with
nuts because you don't want a bunch of fat in your diet, but choose
the right nuts, and keep your other caloric intake down and you might
be okay I bet!
