Tofu has lots os proteins and can be bought in soft or firm textures depending on the dish you're cooking. It has a lot of protein, but if food allergies are a concern, then you need to note that tofu comes from soy, one of the Big 8 Food Allergens.
There's also a product called Ener-G Egg Replacer that I have seen in vegan cookbooks. It's made from potato starch and tapioca.
When you're looking for substitues, be careful not to swap out one allergy food for another? Read this article about hidden food allergens to know what t0 look for.
