Vegetarian	Veg*ns, where do you get your protein?	Jul 25 2008 23:00 (UTC)	12
be careful with your soy intake. i'm a veggie too and with the convenience of soy based meat subsitutes, soy milk, etc, it's easy to get too much soy. too much of anything is not good, and soy can play with your hormone levels so watch out. maybe one serving a day. instead of soy milk, u can try rice or almond milk. definitely agree with everyone on beans and nuts. do you eat eggs? if so, then definitely eggs, i like the organic liquid egg whites, no fat, ALL protein. also, i'd recommend ground flaxseed, u can sprinkle it on anything and is full of healthy fats and protein. ALSO, i havent tried this because i find it's almost impossible to find in the supermarket, but my vegan friends have recommended nutritional yeast. if you can find it, treat it kind of like grated cheese, sprinkle it on popcorn, add it to your favorite recipes. OH! and in reference to you brusing easily, since ur a veggie its possible ur lacking iron. take a multi-vitamin or eat some more eggs/drink milk (if ur not vegan). hope this helps.

Weight Loss	i cant afford to eat 1200 calories/day	Jul 11 2008 02:59 (UTC)	16
peanut butter, beans, whole grain rice, bananas, check! i think i can swing that on my budget. i've always tried to stay away from peanut butter bc its so high in fat (and i think its so delicious), but i need to rethink my good and bad fat, and yes, 1200 calories is a must. Thanks!
