You can enjoy a veggie diet without tofu and veggie burgers, but if you make your own burgers you might enjoy them!

No, eggs are not considered to be meat and are ok to eat on a vegetarian diet!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Why would you go and do such a thing!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would highly recommend reading the book Skinny B*tch!. They are vegetarians and the book will also make you want to turn vegan even more!. They just came out with another book Skinny B*tch in the Kitch which has recipies that are all vegan and delicious!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Try Quorn!? Its not tofu, I've never had tofu and I don't actully fancy trying it, so I can't compare the two!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Although eating lean meat or fish is an efficient way to get your protein, all foods -- even pasta, cereal, and fruit -- provide some!. The difference is that plant-based sources (except for soybeans) are low in one or more of the nine essential amino acids, the building blocks of protein!.

But you don't need to get the full quota at each meal!. The truth is, even adults who eat no animal products can easily get plenty of protein, as long as they consume sufficient calories and a variety of plant foods -- grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, seeds, nuts, and nut butters -- throughout the day!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

PEANUT BUTTER!!! Great source of protien!! Plus soy milk (I was a skeptic too) also beans(legumes), and all kinds of protien replacement stuff in the nutrition isle of every store!.!.!.just ask your doc if it is a good idea for you!.!.!.good luck!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I know how you feel!. Tofu and veggie meat gets really old to me after a while!. I take a daily protein vitamin, but if you don't want to take vitamins you can get protein from eating legumes, or beans, lentils, peas, and peanuts, eggs, and also from eating other nuts like almonds, walnuts, cashews, etc!. Edamame, its kind of like peas, is also really good, so are soy nuts!. I know you don't like veggie burgers, but there really are good soy products out there that taste almost EXACTLY the same as the real thing!. Boca brand chili is AWESOME, and it taste like normal chili, and try Morningstar brand corn dogs and other soy products!. AMAZING! Oh yeah and soy milk, I like silk, is a good source of protein too, and come in vanilla and chocolate flavors, even eggnog around the holidays! And you can get protein from things as simple as peanut butter sandwiches like i do, because i never have time to actually cook anything!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

turning veggy is a gradual process you can start by switching to soy milk and slowly switching your products but i have bad news for you if you dont like soy(tofu) then it will be extremely hard for you to go veggie most veggie products are a soy product there is many protein shakes out their that muscle builders use as well as bars but you have to be careful not to eat or drink too many of thoes they will make you gain weightWww@FoodAQ@Com
