Hey. I think by "true vegetarian" you mean a strict vegetarian?
Anyway, it's fairly easy once you get the hang of it. :)
Breakfast: Bagel with peanut butter, tofu cream cheese, jam, fresh fruit, fresh juice; oatmeal with raisins, cinnamon, and hempnut milk; English muffin with agave nectar and some fresh or dried fruit.
(these are just examples; there are so many options!)
Snacks: Nuts, seeds, fruit, frozen fruit bars, fresh vegetables with hummus, pitas with hummus, baked chips with salsa and guacamole
Lunch: Large salad with mixed greens, avocado, tomato, cucumber, onion, and a flax-containing dressing, maybe some nuts or beans; tacos made with beans, tofu, or whatever you want; sandwiches with roasted red peppers, mushrooms, onions, spinach, eggplant, tomatoes, and basil pesto; steamed cauliflower, broccoli, and brown rice with peanut sauce.
Dinner: Pad Thai (homemade or find a veg-friendly place, no egg or fish sauce); stirfry vegetables with rice; pasta with marinara and other vegetables; other grain and veggie combinations; steamed greens with a tahini sauce; falafel sandwich; black bean soup with avocado garnish; baked cheesy (nutritional yeast) broccoli rice (best one so far I've made is at randomgirl.com).
There are so many options, but those are some quick ones.
go to any veg hotel and see the menu and how do people eat or come to our country India
Proteins: Body's protein needs can be provided by either animal or plant sources. Mixed protein diet obtained from various plant sources is better than animal protein and is recommended in diabetes, renal diseases and liver diseases. Mixed protein diet from different plant sources has been the pattern of diet in India for all vegetarians.
Carbohydrates: Carbohydrates are mainly found in plant foods; like cereals, grains, fresh and dry fruits, legumes, vegetable, greens, nuts etc. plant carbohydrates include' large amounts of starches, sugar and fibers which are important for gut functions. The body is better suited to a high carbohydrate diet than a low carbohydrate diet. In fact 55% of the food intake should be carbohydrate. All animal products do not contain carbohydrate which is essential for body.
Fat: Plant fats differ from animal fats in two different ways 1) they are cholesterol free 2) they generally contain more polyunsaturated fat and less saturated fats. Plant fats usually have higher polyunsaturated fat value than animal fats.
A diet which is low in cholesterol and which contains fat of a high PIS value is associated with a lower incident of coronary health disease.
Vitamins and Minerals: plant foods are rich in many vitamins and minerals.
Vitamin D: Vitamin D is obtained by exposure of skin to sun light and this is not a problem in India.
Calcium: The vegetarians can meet their needs for calcium from dairy products. Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) Dark green vegetables are good sources of Riboflavin as are legumes and whole grain cereal.
Iron: The problem of iron deficiency is relatively common but vitamin C significantly enhances absorption of iron hence it is advisable for vegetarians to include with each meal a food high in vitamin C which as lime, citrus fruits or juices.
Zinc: Zinc is found in large number of plant foods.
Fiber: Fiber is found only in vegetarian food like whole grain cereals, legumes, greens, fruits, vegetable etc.
Thus in vegetarian foods all requirement of nutrition for body growth and maintenance is fulfilled. One can have a complete and balanced diet provided we take enough food which is as close to nature as possible in maintaining sturdy and disease free body. It is equally helpful in curing many diseases.
ADVANTAGES OF VEGETARIAN DIET:
More & more evidence is surfacing that directly links a prolonged non- vegetarian diet to diseases as cancers, heart diseases, diabetes, asthma just to name a few.
1. LOGEVITY: Vegetarian can expect to live 4-10 years longer then the non-vegetarians.

2. LESS HEART DISEASE: Because of low fat, saturated fat and cholesterol content of the vegetarian diet the risk of heart disease is lowered. High blood cholesterol levels are associated with increased risk of heart disease.
3. LESS CANCER: Up to 40% of all cancers are diet related. Cancer death rates have been associated with obesity and high fat / low fiber diet. Vitamin A & C are thought to be protective against colon cancer. Low fat diets protect against prostrate and breast cancer. Indoles, lignans, isoflavones, protease inhibitors which are present in plant foods and shown to be potent anti carcinogens.
4. LESS BOWEL DISEASE: Diverticular disease and appendicitis occur more frequently with low fiber intake as in meat diet.
5. LEES OBESITY & LESS INCIDENCE OF DIABETES: It is easier to plan a low fat diet for a vegetarian then for a meat eater. The fiber in plant food dilutes the energy & provides a satisfying meal without all the calories. Diabetes over the age of 40 seems to be related to obesity.
CONLUSION:
When activists like M.K. Gandhi, sports personalities like Martina Novratilova & Carl Lewis, beauties like Brooke Shields & Kate Winslet, physists like Edison, Albert Einstein & A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, religious leaders & mystics like Jesus & Osho can be legendaries in there respective fields taking the advantage of being vegetarian, Is'nt it more prudent on our part to switch over to vegetarianism & enjoy better quality & longevity of life.

if you mean true vegetarian as in strict vegetarian (vegan) than you would eat no red meat, poultry, fish, gelatin, casein, whey or any other animal by products. it is pretty easy to eat healthy when doing a vegan lifestyle. if you stay away from the candies you can eat, don't eat chips all day, and eat a large variety of veggies, fruits, whole grains, whole grain rice, nuts and seeds then you will be healthy.
