Besides quinoa, give me a high protein non-animal based product that does not contain legumes or wheat. Migraines are not to be trifled with.

Until then, I will be supplementing my diet with meat -albeit mostly from local farmers. [/quote]

Well I am certain there are many of them.

Have you tried looking ?? [/quote]

I am not a vegetarian, but there are other plenty of other sources.  I'm not sure why legumes are off-limits.  Is previous PP suggesting that legumes cause migraines?  It happens for some people, but that's a rare reaction.

Nonetheless, there are other vegetarian proteins:
Nuts are a good source of non-animal protein.   You can use the whole nuts, nut butters, nut milks, or nut meals.
Soy (tofu, tempeh, and edamame and soy milk) is a good source of protein.
Nutritional yeast is a vegetarian and comes in powdered form and can be added to various foods to add non-animal protein to a diet.
Wild rice is a grain, but not wheat and contains a significantly higher amount of protein than other types of rice.
Chia seeds also have significant amount of protein and can be added to many foods and recipes.

The good thing about additives like nurtritional yeast, chia and nut meals is that you can add them to many recipes that you already use to add protein to the recipe.

Yes, you have a problem if legumes and wheat products cause you migraines, but there are still many other sources of protein available.  The issue with schools not serving meat is that many of the vegetarian options to provide as complete a nutritional menu, are either more expensive or harder to scale upwards in terms of mass production for large groups.  That doesn't mean that a vegetarian diet for a limited group like a family, individual or small group is not sustainable.[/quote]
