Try some leafy greens like collards or kale, they are very high in calcium.
Vegetarian	Vegitarians and vegans, what were/are your reasons for changing your diet?	Jul 02 2008 20:31 (UTC)	7
I'm vegan for ethical reasons. It is very disturbing to see the conditions that animals are kept in, and the inhumane treatment they receive.
Foods	oops, guess I still can't trust myself around chocolate.	Apr 03 2008 20:46 (UTC)	11
oh yeah... tortilla chips and salsa. I'll go through a whole jar of salsa in like 2 days

Vegetarian	What type of -tarian or -egan are you?	Mar 12 2008 19:02 (UTC)	4
I am almost vegan. I eat a completely vegan diet, however I still have shoes and purses that are made of leather so I feel that I can not call myself vegan... So I guess I'm a very strict vegetarian

Original Post by hkd_bear: Where is gelatin used (other than in Jello and marshmallows - where else should I be on the look our for it???) Gelatin is also found in yogurt, vitamins, and most gel capsules (like Beano) these are just a few I've come across, I'm sure it's in tons of other stuff

Thank you for all of the great suggestions! If only 10-15% of my calories need to be protein, I'm not too far off. Maybe I'll change one of my snacks to pumpkin seeds, Yum!
