Chicken and meat are good sources of protein. The amino acids present are readily available to the body. However the best protein available is egg white. If you want, you can balance the protein requirement with egg whites and continue being a vegetarian. If you do not want to eat non vegetarian products absolutely, then you can go for protein rich stuff like soyabean and other legumes. It will take more time but it is eventually possible to gain mass with vegetarian products also. However non vegetarian products give faster results.
