TOFU, beans, spinach: If you are still eating dairy products, protein is easily found in milk, cheese and eggs. You can also find high levels of protein in vegetables such as beans/lentils, nuts and tofu!

Beans, nuts: Beans are the best thing to get protein. Also nuts. Tofu is also good. Don't worry about getting "enough" protein. It's a big myth in the U.S. That people don't get enough protein. It's all from the meat industry. If you are otherwise healthy with no chronic illnesses, you will not get deficient in protein.

Hard being veggie...: It's hard being a good vegetarian. It's not just about eliminating meat. Protein can come from beans, dairy and some grains, but you need to research how to make a complete protein for proper absorption. Making a complete protein takes combining different sources of incomplete proteins to make them complete.
