Healthy Vegetarian Food???
Okayy… SO…. For a while now I have been doing this off and on Vegetarian thing, and the last couple week I have really thought about it and im sure that I want to commit to it but….. my parents don’t really support me. They say that when im doing my veg thing I dont do it right. they say i sould be eating healtyer. Which i know they are right but its really hard for me to do! usually my mom cooks dinner and there is always meat! so i just eat the side dishes… like the other day she made stake and green beans and bread and i just ate the green beans and bread…. then i was starving later and i pigged out on junk food! i know i really need some oraganization and protein in my diet but its really hard for me to do!! i tried eating a tuna sandwich the other dday and it made me gag i couldnt eat it even though i really wanted too… i just didnt like the taste or consistancy!!! also i am lactose intolerant! which really sucks! SO if you can help me that would be great!
There are veggie burgers. I like morningstar farms and boca burgers. Morningstar & I’m sure boca too but i dont know, make a lot of other variety of foods, hot dogs, fake ground beef, chicken strips, chicken nuggets, corn dogs. also check around in a local food store sometimes it is with the vegetable section there are other varietys of food there different brands as well as sometimes (possibly this may be in the frozen food section w/ the other meat food) “Amys” is a brand they make vegetarian pre cooked foods like burritos and such. also stir fries are good. look at VEGAN.ORG and go to going vegan. Of course you are not vegan but if youw ant to be that site helps but also it has a list of foods you can eat for breakfast lunch and dinner. just other ideas you can think of. also eat some veggies and fruit.
I’ve been a vegetarian for 7 years (since i was 12) and am just about to go vegan. I really only ate veggie burgers (mornignstar farms’ pizza burger did it for me!) and some rice orsomethign and still don’t really go out of my way with other foods and am perfectly healthy, no anemia or anything. dont let people fool you into thinking you are not healthy. However it is the summer so if you go for a physical before school mention taht you are just starting to be vegetarian and have them check just to make sure that youa re not anemic and are getting enough protein and such (the veggie burgers have a lot of protein usually)
