Suggestions about foods, please?

I will probably never become a vegetarian, but I am eating less and less meat as I get older. Most days, I only have a small portion at dinner, and none during the rest of the day. But I have limitations on other sources of protein, so I would love to hear some suggestions from vegetarians on here that have similar issues.
First, I am lactose intollerant, so dairy is difficult for me unless I take tons of Lactaid every day. Then there's the bean problem, which I don't think I need to describe...suffice it to say, I can't be in public when I eat any quantity of them. Also, while I do drink a soy milkshake every morning, I can't stand tofu, and most veggie burgers don't agree with me either.
So where else can I find good sources of protein? I'd love to go totally meatless one or two days a week, but I would need to serve something I can eat, as well as being pretty substantial to get it past my hubby (who would never consider a meal without meat as being complete).

In addition to vegetables, fruits, and grains, nuts and seeds are also good sources of protein. They make convenient snacks, and it's easy to add them to salads, desserts, cereal, etc.

Tofu can taste completely different depending on how you make it. If you try it again, marinate it for a long time in some sort of sauce before frying it.

Try a variety of meatless products. You might find that some brands or types work much better for you than others. I like the Morningstar brand best.
