Is there a good web site that tells you what to eat to become vegetarian?!
Vegetarian is a blanket term. It covers the 5 levels.
NO vegetarians eat meat. Fish and chicken are meat.
Lacto vegetarians - milk, no eggs.
Ovo vegetarians - eggs, no milk.
Lacto-ovo vegetarians - eggs and milk
Strict vegetarians - strictly plant based diet. Some call it a vegan DIET (which is NOT the same as being vegan) No animal products. No dairy, no eggs, no honey, nothing animal-derived.
Vegans - plant-based diet (as above). Vegan implies moral concern for animals and extends to lifestyles as well. We avoid animal products in our consumables such as shampoo, make up, cleaning products, and so on. No leather, wool, suede, silk, and so on, and we avoid animal testing, circuses, traditional zoos & aquariums, horse/dog racing, bullfighting, etc.
Answers: You don't eat certain things to make you vegetarian. You go vegetarian by NOT eating certain things.

Peta2.com tells you EVERYTHING. Mostly it tells you what to eat if you are vegan, but those both go hand-in-hand anyways.
Yay for vegetarianism!
I made this topic in my forum about vegetarianism and it should help you very much! I hope you stick with it and enjoy it =)

go veggie girl iv been a proud vegitarian for 2 years i am 13 so
peta is too extreme and bias. they are all idiots. its really what you DON'T eat that makes you a vegetarian. make sure you avoid cheese with rennet, sugar filtered from bone char, no gelatin, check food labels on everything. get protein from nuts, beans, cheese, certain breads, spinach, tofu, tempeh, soy milk. get a full feeling from different grains, or potatoes, pasta, rice. and load up on the veggies obviously. do lots of research, maybe try wikipedia, and be creative with recipes. don't be afraid to try something new and have fun!
While I very much don't agree with Peta they have some very good information on vegetarianism. Go to goveg.com
You can pretty much eat anything you want, just avoid all animal flesh, including poultry, game, fish, shellfish or crustacean, and slaughter by-products! Vegetables, fruits, beans, legumes, tofu, seitan, TVP, tempeh, whole grains, & nuts are best!

One of the absolute best resources for vegetarianism is Go Veg. It is run by PETA and gives lots of information about transitioning to and maintaining a vegetarian diet.
If you have an Ipod or an mp3 player, there's a podcast called "Vegetarian Food for Thought". It is a GREAT podcast.
If you don't have an mp3, you can listen to it on your computer.
