"Protein shakes?
Or loads of companies now do high protein versions of things, yoghurts, cereal, porridge etc.
What are the shakes like"
They are varied in everything from texture to content to taste to sweetness
You will find one you like
If you are not vegan , eggs and milk are your friends and good value
Then whole grains and pulses
Lentils are fab in a veggie curry , well in anything '
There are some excellent cheeses which are both low fat and low calorie
Skyr is amazing as is cottage cheese
However try not to fall foul of the eat loads school of bulking
Most mortals will struggle to add more than a kilo of lean muscle mass per month , and that would be with good diet and good training
Thus if you're adding much more than a kilo per month it would be fat and or water
Did I mention eggs xxx |

"Soya Beans is what you need "
They are helpful
Obviously there is the suggestion they contain a compound that mimics oestrogen
Best advice , is avoid single food solutions
As a vegetarian eating a wide variety of foods will give your body the amino acids you need

Try an MRP (Meal Replacement) powder such as Myprotein Whole Fuel. That will give you an extra 450 quality calories per serving, so two a day inbetween meals and you'll bulk if you're training hard  |

"if you google Huel... According to the book of face it is a complete meal replacement. Add one of those on top of your normal diet "
That’s calories not protein. And it’s called Hule ..... cos that’s what it makes you do.
Any whey protein drink or shake will help bulk you up if you are doing exercises to bulk up.
Creatine
CLA
BCAA
All help muscles repair, burn fat and help muscle develope. |

Bearing in mind the op is vegetarian and is looking for extra protein , carbs are easy to find no need ever to supplement with carbohydrate ever xxx why pay for sugar |

eat 6 meals a day and about 5 protein shakes.
you'll feel full and like you want to be sick for a first few days but keep at it and soon you'll start to put it on.
remember though, with protein if your body doesnt use it you will be in the toilet a lot more so invest in a few packets of wet wipes as well. |

"I’m talking body not mind although the brain needs things in meat to function minerals certain fats and so on "
All of which can be sourced through plants or supplementation.
I eat meat. I just think people shouldn't be told that they're wrong for making the dietary choices they make. |

"Anybody else seen an high protein Yorkie bar, came across them today! 
That's why they're not for girls."
If he came over it, was he adding his own extra protein? |

Yes, I'd say that's the correct prognosis. He had a protein shake, and a Yorkie. |
