A serving of vegetables is about the size of your fist, or perhaps a baseball. A serving of meat is the size of a deck of cards. That’s all- kinda puts that McDonalds combo in perspective, doesn’t it?

What this means is that you should get small amounts of a wide variety of foods. Any good diet, vegetarian or otherwise, requires a bit of planning ahead- buy large amounts of food every week, and mix and match small portions throughout the week.

just eat a healthy, balanced diet. one protein for every sugar consumed. remember to eat in moderation and get plenty of exercise. don’t limit yourself to “vegetarian” -eat what tastes good to you.

Plan your meals.

1) Breakfast: cereal, toast, bagel, fruit etcs.. - this covers your daily carbs, better to have carbs in the morning versus at night.

2) Mid morning: yogurt, apple, protein bar. this will give you energy

3) Lunch: veggie sandwich, grilled veggies, veggie soup with lots of beans - you’ll get your proteins and with the veggies, get your “a,b,c,d,e” vitamins.

4) Dinner: big spinach salad, or a leafy green salad, with a main course veggie dish. the salad covers your iron and more protein, with great vitamins. - b12

The main course veggie dish, - you can basically have what you want as along as it not to heavey in crabs. like don’t eat loads and loads of paste or bread. but a little is good!
