I do not really feel one needs to eat meat, and want to avoid it. It is high in calories, and I am overweight, 25 lbs. Part of being a vegeterian is getting away from the idea that meat has to be the center of a meal. This can be unhealtful in especially that pork, larger portions of red meat have large number of calories. We develop habits. I do not see the reason to have meat as the center of the meal.
But one does have to get sufficient protein and vitamins. I am taking vitamins. My father got very anti-meat, and despite being otherwise healthy, got anemia. Also, one has to watch for veggies that have too high calories. For example, last night I fixed macroni and used no fat "butter" spray and no fat milk.
Suggestions on diet would be much appreciated.
