What types of protein should a vegetarian eat?

The single best answer to that is:  “Anything but red meat.”  By “red meat” we mean meat that’s colored red in a way that reflects the flesh color.  So everything else that’s “red” is not meat, and will be safe to eat for a vegetarian.  So you should be careful about the meat you eat, because there are a lot of different types of meat that are really quite different in nutritional value.

If we assume you’re talking about a vegan vegetarian, meaning one who won’t eat any animal products (fish, meat, eggs) then yes, vegans do eat meat.  They just choose different types of meat, like soybeans, beans, nuts, etc.
