Protein alternatives to SOY?

Hello,
I am desperately trying to be vegetarian as a step to becoming vegan. The whole protein thing is very confusing for me. I work 60 hours a week and don't have a lot of time for sprouting, so the raw alternative won't work for me until next year.
I have a list of legumes, grains, veggies, fruits, and nuts and seeds that are high in protein that I am willing to eat... but I was hoping someone who was vegetarian and did not use a lot of soy could point me toward their favorite alternative to soy. I use organic soymilk on my cereal every AM, and thats about it. I also like Hemp Seed. Wren, I will try searching your posts more, too.
Also, if anyone can point me to a link that explains why gluten and wheat are bad, I would appreciate it, I tried searching, but cannot get anything good to pull up. I know from elimination my body doesnt like wheat, but I was curious as to possible reasons why.
Thank you for your help.

MoreThis is a reply to # 68,999The protein thing does not have to be confusing. It is simple that the body simply becomes more efficient at extracting and utilizing proteins even those in small amounts. "High protein" is just not a concern.
Wheat and specifically gluten can be irritants to the system gluten is specifically the protein part of the matrix and is difficult to digest. Do a search on gluten sensitivity and you shall begin to see The other side.

this article on the ask Kelly forum
seems to encompass answers to your questions about wheat.
I will trying to get time to answer you about the other part...
but the basic core is that I think you will find being a vegan
will fit in well with you extreme work hours,
and revitalize you, by simply learning and growing,
and taking your own food.. will be super easy,
super $ help as well, and save you time also.
I will get back to you about your protein and nuts, etc concerns..
in the meantime, do not eat peanuts !! (full of mold/fungus)
no soy, dairy , canola oil, no margarine (basically a plastic)
try to stick with coconut oil , sunflower, sesame, olive, avocado etc.
Wishing you love, happiness, joy,
and good rest as well,

This is a reply to # 68,999hi,
i use rice milk. it comes in a box on the grocery shelf. (not fridge section). so you can keep it in the pantry till you open it. i haven't try grinding my own. (should try that soon).
after i read about genetic engineering, i am afraid to use soy at all.
a crock pot helps when you are working a lot.
i just sent a long message to another person on how to keep from starving while you figure out how to become a vegan. (it might help you also). i have no scientific information, just what i managed to figure out when i had no time to even read cook books. (now i have a little more time...can't wait to start being creative!)
don't give up! it's worth it.
