I’ve been a lacto-ovo vegetarian for 3 weeks now, and it’s so far so good. I was asking a vegetarian friend if she had any suggestions for my new found diet, she gave me some tips but also told me she is going back to eating some meat due to lack of protein (she has been a vegetarian for 3-4 years)….
I don’t want to have the same fate as her, is it humanely possible for me to not get a protein deficiency?
Here is a typical daily diet for me (bear in mind I”m trying to lose weight so if it seems a little low in calories thats why)…
Breakfast: 6 oz nonfat plain yogurt, 1 pack of plain oatmeal and 3 tbsp’s of raw honey all mixed together.
Midmorning snack: 2 tbsp’s of peanut butter
Lunch: 4 oz of whole grain pasta with tomato juice as a substitute sauce b/c its lighter with a salad (no dressing cuz I hate dressing) with romain lettuce, spinach, 1 whole tomato, and some raw baby carrots, and 1 veggie burger pattie.
Afternoon snack: piece of fruit
Dinner: Grilled cheese sandwhich (I use cooking spray intsead of butter) 2 slices of whole grain bread with 3 slices of fat free american cheese (I checked the label no hidden animals), with either a cup of lentil soup OR a serving of vegetarian baked beans.
Evening snack: piece of fruit
I also have 6 eggs a week. It’s not the exact same every day, but this is pretty typical for me. Am I lacking anything? If yes, what do you suggest?
Thanks!
*CORRECTION* For the midmorning snack, that is 1 tbsp of reduced fat peanut butter, sorry for the confusion!
Serious answers only please, sarcastic ones will be reported as abuse.
And for the dinner, the grilled cheese sandwhich consists of 3 slices of fat free cheese and 2 slices whole grain bread, not in addition to, thanks!

My hair doesn’t grow that fast but i know the sooner i get them cut the better off i’ll be. So how long will it take my hair to grow back to my original lenght and do you have any tips on how to make it grow faster?

I have red lentils and yellow split peas.

I bought the soup in a bag. Its called Bob’s Red Mill Vegi soup. It consist mostly of green and yellow split peas, barley, and lentils.
Here is a picture of it: http://www.bobsredmill.com/vegi-soup-mix.html
I already cut up some carrots and put them in it. What else can I add to it to give it a little more flavor? What spices and herbs can I throw in?
I tested it while its cooking. Its been cooking for about 1.5 hours now. It seems kind of bland right now. I really need something to kick it up.

I’m going for one tonight; almost always get lamb/chicken tikka massala, pilau rice and a peshwari naan. I love saag aloo too. I feel like experimenting… what do you recommend?! (Nothing too spicy please!)
