Question: What vitamins are vegetarians usually lacking!?
I am a vegetarian and eat plently of veggies, fruits, nuts and soy products!. (including tofu) I eat a little dariy (mosty from the occasional yougurt or chocolate)!. And i barely ever eat eggs (unless they happen to be in some recipe)!. I do not take a multi vitamin but my mom thinks i will get sick!. The thing is I have been eating like this for about two years now and have never felt better!
So my question is, could i develope a vitamin deffiency!? If so what kind!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
It seems like you are eating a balanced vegetarian diet, so I you don't need to take any vitamins!.

Sometimes people don't get enough B12

Foods with lots of B12 are :

Breakfast Cereals
Dairy and Egg products
Soups, sauces, and gravy
Yogurts
and more!.!.!.!.!.

But you are eating most of those things, so your diet is perfect :DWww@FoodAQ@Com

hahaha your diet is fine!. Tell your mum that vegetarians do NOT lack nutrients if they eat a variety of foods!. Since you are doing that, I don't think you should worry!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Don't go there!. Strict vegetarianism can lead to many deficiencies!. Namely, vitamin B12, D, omega-3 fats, protein!.
It is best to eat balanced food!. Hope this helps!Www@FoodAQ@Com
