Hi thanks for your question.
Being vegetarain is good.But you cannot live without proteins.Protein provides body with amino acids which are very essential for growth ,development and normal function of body.There are 2 types of amin acids .Non essential which body synthesises itself and essential.amin acids .Essential amino acids body cannot synthesises and have to be provided via food.Pulses,milk and eggs are excellent source of proteins which don't come from non vegetarain origin.For other vegetarain source of protein I would suggest you to consult dietitian
Hope this answers your question.
