Well remember that you don't need a fake meat product to replace every meat item you would normally eat!. You can eat a lot of pastas, fruit, veggies cooked all sorts of ways, potatoes, salads, a lot of Mexican food, rice!.!.!.do you have a Wal-Mart out there!? There's usually a decent selection of meat-free products at Wal-Mart, in the frozen food section near the breakfast items!. Gardenburger Riblets are good http://www!.gardenburger!.com/product!.aspx!.!.!. Morningstar Veggie Dogs, Morningstar Meal Starters steak strips (with A1 sauce) are also pretty good!! You could look around on these websites to get some more product ideas!. http://www!.seeveggiesdifferently!.com/ and http://www!.gardenburger!.com/food!.aspx You'll have to try and see which things you like, and which you don't!. I would advise not going near the fake bacon, though! They don't have that down quite yet!. Well congrats on becoming a vegetarian!Www@FoodAQ@Com
Tofu!. other soy products!.!.
The benefit of meat is that it contains a full complement of amino acids in what is called "whole" proteins!. There are ways to combine grains and legumes and other things to get a whole protein!. For instance a peanut butter sandwich (on whole grain bread) is a whole protein because of the combination of legumes (peanuts) and whole grain in the bread!.!.!.!.like that!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
