Lentils too. Of you like soy milk then you could drink that or use it on cereal. Kashi Golean Crunch has quite a bit of protien in it. But make sure you get the golean crunch. The regular golean is not good. I like to hide tofu in foods that are creamy. Then we get extra protien and my family doesn't know they are eating tofu (just blend it up and throw it in). Also check out a grain called quinoa. It has a lot of protien. Good luck. And you're right--eating beans is much better than dead flesh.

How much protein does a person need? I don't consciously incorporate protein into my diet. Hmm Google says about .75g protein for every pound of body weight. I guess the next step is to start tracking how much protein is in the stuff I eat :P I’m mostly on a non-meat diet too…it’s rare that I have it, and usually only when eating out, for simplicity’s sake.
