And here's a site full of vegetarian recipes:

Basically, eat lots of whole grains, vegetables, and fruits. Add some protein like tofu, beans, nuts, soymilk, or mock-meat products like veggieburgers. Don't be afraid to try new foods or cuisines. There's many great vegetarian Indian and Chinese dishes.

Visiting a vegetarian restaurant can give you some great meal ideas.

Answer 2

Deffiently start slow. Cut out red meat first, then maybe a week later chicken. After that wait a bit and cut out all meat. I mean you can't just become a vegetarian over night right?

And i promise you'll have an easier time making the transition if you change bit by bit, instead of throwing yourself into a new lifestyle.

Best of luck! :D

Answer 5

Well, tofu, tempeh, and nuts are some of the different types of food that has protien... And I think eggs do too, but I don't eat them.

I love to eat curry :] It tastes awesome. Red and orange curry is the kind you should try. Thai resturants usually have a wide varity of vegetarian meals.

For lunch I usually make something quick. Like a can of soup or a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich with rye bread. Yum :D But you have to try a boca burger. They taste 100x better then a hamburger.

Things to watch out for:

Geliton, glycerine, marshmellows, soap [because of glycerine], bleached flour, and refined sugar.
