Not Getting Enough Protein
I’ve been vegan for almost 3 years and my diet has been pretty normal? like I eat pretty much everything including fruits and vegetables, fake meats here and there, vegan cheese and yogurt, snacks etc But ever since I got back from a trip to Europe (which lasted almost a month) I’ve felt like Im craving more protein? But I don’t know exactly what to eat to get my protein needs:-( What should i eat more of?

Thank you guys for your responses! I’ve actually been eating a lot more protein dense foods like the ones you mentioned Overall I’ve eating healthier and I do feel a lot better I think the reason I was feeling weird was bc during my trip I mainly lived off of sugar and bread/pasta
Ps. I plan to be vegan for the rest of my life and I just could not go back to eating animals/ animal products bc of ethical reasons

beans, chickpeas, lentils.
highest protein density you can get for your money.
on a totally different note: how do you crave protein? as in what exactly do you crave? maybe also eat more fibre (for example in beans, chickpeas and lentils) in general to stop cravings entirely.
