What consists of a vegetarian meal?

Question

ummm....for breakfast.....lunch....and dinner..........?.........thanx(i don't think i worded it very good..sorry)....

Answer 1

As long as you mean vegetarian (no meat), not vegan (no animal products), try:

Breakfast: Eggs on toast. You could add hash browns or fried tomato as well

Lunch: Salad sandwich

Dinner: get creative. Try pasta with a tomato-based sauce, or pizzas with peppers, onions, herbs, cheese, mushrooms, olives etc. How about a stir-fry with rice?

As long as it has no meat, it's vegetarian. As long as it has no animal products (no dairy or eggs or meat), it's vegan.

And if you're cooking for someone else who says they're vegetarian, ask if they eat fish -- loads do, even though it is not technically vegeatrian.

Buon appetite!

Answer 2

There are thousands of ways to eat vegetarian and many, many recipes online. You can make almost any dish..just without the meat.

Answer 3

I always have half a cup of rice, a load of veggies, and some source of protein, like peanuts, chickpeas, or tofu/ gluten.

Answer 4

its simple-anything thats not a dead animal. Oatmeal, rice in milk, cereal, toast with jelly, bisquits, waffles, pancakes, etc for breakfast. Cheese and tomato or cucumber sandwich for lunch, or bean and cheese tacos, salad, veggie soup, mac and cheese for lunch. Pupusa, veggie lasagna, spagetti, fettucini alfredo, garlic pasta, arapa, chinese noodle, stir fried rice, etc. for dinner. Replace meat with beans or mushrooms. So simple, no mystery

Answer 5

All things that taste s<>t without meat.

How to Go Vegetarian or Vegan

Transform dishes that you already know and enjoy. For example, omit meatballs from your favorite spaghetti recipe, or replace with a vegetarian substitute, such as GimmeLean. Chances are, much of what you already eat could easily be made vegetarian.

Explore new foods! One of my favorite things to do is to try one new product every time I go to the grocery store. As a result, I eat a much more varied diet as a vegan than I ever did before. Although most large grocery stores stock soy milk and veggie burgers, try browsing in your local health food stores to see what new foods you can find.

Try it twice. If you hated a particular food the first time, such as veggie burgers, try it again later, using a different product brand or prepared differently or with different seasonings and spices. Not all products are the same, and you may prefer one product or style of preparation. For example, if you microwaved your veggie burger the first time, try grilling it next time.

Browse health food stores. There's always something new to try, and the staff can help you find what you're looking for or give advice on which products are best.

Give yourself a break! Don’t throw in the towel if you can’t resist that burger. Just take a breath and resolve to do better at the next meal. Another idea is to allow yourself one day a week to eat meat. If you’re finding it difficult to stick to a vegetarian diet, you’re much more likely to pass something up, knowing you can indulge on Saturday or Sunday.

Be patient! You may find it easy to go vegan overnight, while others struggle just omitting red meat. Everyone really is different, but rest assured that with time, your cravings will subside. Remembering your goals and reasons for going vegetarian or vegan will help you when you are tempted to give in.

Learn, read and talk. Learn and read as much as possible about vegetarian health and foods. Knowledge is power! If you know any other vegetarians or vegans, ask them for their tips or advice. Everyone will have something different to share, but most people are more than willing to provide a bit of advice and will likely be flattered that you asked.

Browse your local bookstore for a great vegetarian cookbook. Look for one that not only appeals to you, but has a variety of recipes that are simple enough for everyday use.

If you’re the only one in your family transitioning to a vegetarian diet, you don’t have to cook two separate meals! Simply cook the meat for dishes like stir-fries and pasta dishes in a separate pan and add to a separated portion just before serving.

Try new restaurants. Seek out Chinese, Indian, Middle Eastern and Thai restaurants and taste the many dishes and foods they have to offer.

Be sure to replace meat with healthy foods and eat a balanced diet. If you are eating nothing but French fries and chips, your health will suffer, and you will want to resort to your former eating habits. Eat a variety of whole grains, vegetables and proteins, such as tofu or veggie burgers to stay full and healthy.


Top 6 Types of Vegetarians

1) Pescatarian (also spelled pescetarian)
The word “pescatarian” is occasionally used to describe those who abstain from eating all meat and animal flesh with the exception of fish. Although the word is not commonly used, more and more people are adopting this kind of diet, usually for health reasons or as a stepping stone to a fully vegetarian diet.
2) Flexitarian/Semi-vegetarian
You don’t have to be vegetarian to love vegetarian food! “Flexitarian” is a term recently coined to describe those who eat a mostly vegetarian diet, but occasionally eat meat
3) Vegetarian (Lacto-ovo- vegetarian)
When most people think of vegetarians, they think of lacto-ovo-vegetarians. People who do not eat beef, pork, poultry, fish, shellfish or animal flesh of any kind, but do eat eggs and dairy products are lacto-ovo vegetarians (“lacto” comes from the Latin for milk, and “ovo” for egg).
Lacto-vegetarian is used to describe a vegetarian who does not eat eggs, but does eat dairy products.

Ovo-vegetarian refers to people who do not eat meat or dairy products but do eat eggs.

4) Vegan
Vegans do not eat meat of any kind and also do not eat eggs, dairy products, or processed foods containing these or other animal-derived ingredients such as gelatin. Many vegans also refrain from eating foods that are made using animal products that may not contain animal products in the finished process, such as sugar and some wines. There is some debate as to whether certain foods, such as honey, fit into a vegan diet.
5) Raw vegan/Raw food diet
A raw vegan diet consists of unprocessed vegan foods that have not been heated above 115 degrees Fahrenheit (46 degrees Celsius). “Raw foodists” believe that foods cooked above this temperature have lost a significant amount of their nutritional value and are harmful to the body.
6) Macrobiotic
The macrobiotic diet, revered by some for its healthy and healing qualities, includes unprocessed vegan foods, such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and allows the occasional consumption of fish. Sugar and refined oils are avoided. Perhaps the most unique qualifier of the macrobiotic diet is its emphasis on the consumption of Asian vegetables, such as daikon, and sea vegetables, such as seaweed.
