I've read that wheat germ has more protein than most meats, so if I substitute a healthy amount of it into my diet without eating any other type of protein, will that be healthy and sufficient enough? Which other grains, foods, etc can I replace meat with? I want to eat vegetarian, but I'm not sure how to slowly wean myself off of meat products while substituting other protein foods - any advice? Also, during this time, how can I avoid turning to carbs after excluding meat from my diet? Meat has been my main source of food for years, so I'm sure it will take a while to get used to not having it. I know a few vegitarians whose main diet consists of carbs - I would not want to become dependant on carbs to feel full after eliminating meat from my diet, because I'm trying to slim down, so what else can I eat instead that's filling but healthy? The thing is, vegetables don't really fill me up. Thanks for the advice in advance, guys.
