Try this website, it has good foods divided into categories by nutrient, vitamin, etc. even though it doesn't have all of them. Zinc is at the bottom.

For protein, peanut butter and other nuts are good.

Answer 2

Try eating more fresh fruits and vegetables. Grilled cheese sandwiches, tofu, veggie burgers, ect. There are plenty of things you can eat as a vegetarian. As a vegetarian do you eat fish and seafood because they are very good for you. Some vegetarians do others don't.
