Can someone send me a vegatarian chart or something so I know how much to eat daily?

Question

I don't eat a lot because of my dad, but when I do eat it's only because I'm starved or because my grandma or mom is bugging me about it, so can someone send me a vegetarian food chart? I despise meat and I don't like animals being killed even though it's in the bible and everything, I believe that all creatures have a purpose, and then I understand there population will increase, and that's why some people hunt and kill them, but I don't like to eat dead animals I think it's gross. Plus I hate meat and rarely eat it I've just been eating rice lately. I hate meat so much and never eat it so it won't be hard to give it up.

Answer 1

for a workable diet -

here is what my dietician suggests - follow a practical diet. start your meal with a soup or a huge salad. this fills u up. Make sure your plate has this ratio - 50% veg, 25% carb(potatoes, corn and peas come in carbs category), 25% protein.this will prevent cravings too.an occassional treat is OK. have a snack every three hours. fruit (ideally berries) or soy nuts. just 2 tbsp of soya subsides hunger pangs. switch from white rice and bread to brown. eat 900gms of veggies a day.

for veg food i wuld suggest Indian. a lot of vegg options. google for paneer recipes (cottage cheese), dal, sabzi etc.

Here's a link to a vegan food pyramid that helps give you an idea of how to portion out (though you do not need to be rigid about getting the proscribed servings).

You can click on the picture to see a bigger one, get a wallpaper for your computer or purchase a poster or postcard.

Then there is a vegan nutrition chart which lists which foods have which nutrients. I have this one at home (the picture only shows about a third of the long chart).

You do need a bit more than rice, and it would be best if that rice was brown (basmati is a delicious brown rice).

You are doing a good thing. If you aren't eating animals then more won't be bred for your consumption to live a miserable life in a factory farm only to be shipped off for slaughter.

You should print a few up and hang them around the places you eat.

Answer 4

google "food pyramid" and it will let you know how many servings of each food you should get. If you only eat veggies, simply cut out the parts that tell you about meat
