Answer 1

you can try protein shakes but too much protein is bad for you too so monitor your intake. Also fish and chicken have a lot of protein

Answer 2

you can get lots of protein from yogurt, eggs, dairy, beans, pasta, and many other things. I'm a vegetarian and that most of the things i eat :]

Answer 3

LOL, muscle comes from protein....and that does not have to come from meat. Nuts, milk, soy milk, cheese, yogurt, all beans, and more! You can also buy protein powder. I love that stuff. I mix it in with frozen strawberries, a banana, yogurt, orange juice, and milk. It is very tasty!  

Answer 4

That's great!

Try some of these Vegatarian choices:

Soyjoy's (whole soy and dried fruit, get them at Target.)

Organic Oatmeal.

Veggie Burgers.

Subway (or homemade subs) Wheat bread, cucumbers, lettuce, and mustard.

Silk Soymilk...hope I helped you out!

Answer 6

Muscle tone comes from exercise.  So exercise and eat a well balanced diet.

Answer 7

start eating some nuts those are fat-ting but they give you all the protein you need

Answer 8

Uh ... well here's a chart.

Breakfast should be larger than dinner and lunch, since breakfast starts the day and gives you energy and nutrition.

Good breakfast foods should contain Vitamin C and flavor to boost your day:

- Large helpings of cereal for energy, whole wheat and a healthy way to start the day. Cheerios is a good choice.

- Mini bagels, keep to a small number

- Milk or orange juice - vitamin C

- Hot dogs are okay on occasion but don't overdo it

- Homemade sandwich. (Lettuce, 2 pieces of whole wheat/raisin/white/nuts bread, 2 tomato slices, a small helping of mayo) 2 sanwiches should cut it along with a bowl of cereal and half a hot dog.

Note: Drink at least two glasses of water and half a glass of milk/orange juice.

Don't eat sweets for breakfast.

Good lunch foods:

- Sandwich (see above)

- Pizza from Pizza Hut/Dominos/Papa John's. Don't order much and eat only a bit.

- Juice is good, but water is recommended. Note: Don't drink too much juice. Your body needs water. If you only like juice/soda then dilute it. I suggest giving yourself soda only rarely since it packs a lot of sugar. Never drink soda at night unless you want to stay awake.

- Spaghetti is good. Eat with salad. (potato or fruit (recommended.))

Good dinner foods:

- One hamburger from Burger King .. do you know how much calories that is?!

- Water/diluted soda/ small helping of juice

Remember to jog one hour after each meal. Jog for at least half an hour every day.
