What is in red meat?

Question

me and my best friend are going vegirtarian we want to know what is in red meat like protien and things like that so we can find out what to eat to replace red meat.

Answer 1

You can easily replace the nutrition of red meat by eating chick peas, soy products, whole grains, beans and nuts for proteins. If you choose to eat eggs, egg whites are also a good source of protein.

Also take a multivitamin every day.

Answer 2

Red meat isn't essential to health at all, in fact it's been linked to heart disease and cancer.

You can get all the protein you need by eating a varied and balanced diet primarily of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, with protein sources like tofu, beans, and nuts. Since you're a new vegetarian you might enjoy the mock-meats like Boca/Amy's/Yves veggieburgers and so on.

Here's a great book to start with, covering all the basics of vegetarian nutrition. Get it from a local bookstore or your library:
