I've discovered that the Whole Foods-brand vanilla soy protein powder has no sugar, 24 grams of protein per scoop, and mixes very nicely into big ol' steel-cut oats, which I make in my rice cooker. And since oats and soymilk both have protein, that's a really good start to the day. Also, Trader Joe's dark chocolate-covered edamame and frozen berries are good things. Thanks for the suggestions!

Instead of Veganaise though, I crush the chickpeas in olive oil and Bragg liquid aminos and just use Veganaise to lubricate the bread, because Veganaise is friggin' expensive and I'm not made of money. Great Northern beans also work for this. Either way it's a break from tofu, which can get kind of boring. Quinoa's also really good for protein. Makes a nice tabbouleh.

You can get a good protein powder at a health food store, mix well with juice, swig like you mean it. You might be tempted to drink that instead of eating a meal but resist that temptation. Snacking on sheets of nori might also help. Try spirulina shakes. You can get a good protein powder at a health food store, mix well with juice, swig like you mean it.

Switched from rice and tofu to quinoa and tempeh and that upped the protein in the meal by a factor of about three-and-a-half. It also had a larger nom factor. :) I have had a similar problem in the past.
