well of course veggies! I eat lots of them anyway... I'm talking about what substitude the nutrients in meat, so I make sure I don't miss any nutrients in my diet that i need.

Answer 1

Meat is not the only real source of protein.
These are, for example, vegan sources of protein:
Cereals and grains - buckwheat*, rye, corn, rice, pasta...
Leafy green vegetables, including spinach
Legumes - beans, lentils, peas, peanuts
Nuts - almonds, walnuts, cashews...
Seaweed - spirulina*, kelp ...
Seeds - hemp*, sesame, sunflower...
Soy* products - tofu, tempeh, soy milk...
Vegetables - Brussel sprouts, potatoes, yuca

Answer 2

Igonore the answer above, i asume you want to eat vegetarian as stated in your question, and not "wanabee-fake-confused-meateater" diet

you don't need to worry about the nutrients from meat.

Just eat a variety of vegetables, fruits, cereals and nuts.

It'll be fine.

Don't go over the top with just replacing meat with fake-meat. Its not always the best way to get a healthy diet. Most people who maintain a successful veggie diet tend to cook from raw ingredients.

The odd bit of fake meat is ok, but not with every meal.

Answer 3

You don't like eating meat so you will not miss it & that's good.You have listed a few major items in a vegetarian diet,but what about vegetables,so many to choose from also fruit & nuts.

Answer 4

Try Gluten or Sietan. Those are a lot more "meaty" than tofu. And eggs, especially egg whites.

Lots more greens and flax seeds (for Omega fatty acids).

Answer 5

Quorn products. They're available in many different forms and provide the same amount of protein as meat produce without the added fat content. You can get Quorn mince, sausages,burgers, bacon and ham. They're available at most good supermarkets although certain products (like the ham) are harder to find.

Answer 6

Red Beans and Rice and lots of other fruits and vegetables. If you include dairy then include yogurt, cheese and milk.

Answer 7

they make all sorts of veggie burgers and meat substitutes now. and they're all pretty tasty! they usually have lots of protein. you kind find them in the frozen section of your grocery store.

Answer 8

You answerd your own question...nuts, fruits veggies, rice, pasta...fresh and cooked. I wouldn't cook them to death because the food loses it's nutritional value.

Answer 9

Whole grains (pasta, bread, brown rice), nuts, soy products. If you are lacto-ovo then include dairy and eggs.

Answer 10

there's everything for vegetarians, vegetarian sausages, vegetarian hams, etc.. just head to the supermarket and ask where it is
