Can someone give me a vegetarian list?!


Question: Can someone give me a vegetarian list?
I want to be on a 100% vegetarian diet. What are the serious strict rules that I must fallow and foods that I can eat and foods that I shouldn't and cant. List of meats (or is it all I can't)? One thing that I'm addicted to is sweets like cupcakes and I love cereal and waffles so any "vegetarian sweets" that could be considered?. I'm a breakfast kind of girl. Can someone give me the kind of foods they eat on a daily basis from 12a-12p? Exercising advice?

Answers:

If you're going vegetarian, technically, you shouldn't be consuming any meat. This includes gelatin (found in pudding, cake, gel cap medicine, sour cream, etc), rennet (found in cheese), lard (animal fat), and chicken/beef broth (found in soups, ramen noodle packets, etc).

If you're looking to eat healthier then cutting out sugary sweets will definitely help. You can have sweets, just don't gorge yourself on them. Have one cookie instead of three, for example.

As for exercise, just add some cardio 3-5 times a week for about 30 minutes. Walking, running, and dancing are good examples. You have to break a sweat.

I don't really eat cereal often anymore. I do eat granola with ricemilk though, which is similar. I almost always have a piece of fruit for breakfast. Some other breakfast things I eat are oatmeal and toast with peanut butter or almond butter or jam.

Here's what I ate Monday (I keep track on my iPhone in an app called "Lose It!"):

---Breakfast---
Banana
2 tbsp Sunbutter
1 cup Bolthouse Farms, Smoothie, Strawberry Banana

---Lunch---
MorningStar Farms, BBQ Riblet
1 slice 365, Multigrain Bread
2 tbsp Hummus

---Dinner---
56g Fettuccine
2 tbsp Organic Peanut Butter
1/2 cup Vegetable Broth
1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
Salt, Pepper, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder
1/2 cup Onions

---Snacks---
40g Dried Pineapple
1/2 cup Purely Decadent, Coconut Milk Ice Cream, Chocolate

Typically, I shoot for fruit and grains in the morning, rice or pasta for another meal, and a protein source plus vegetables for another meal. With fruits, nuts, raw veggies, and the occasional vegan ice cream as a snack.

Vegan



No:
Beef
Pork
Poultry
Fish
Shellfish
Chicken broth
Beef broth
Animal lard
Anything that comes from any kind of dead animal

Be careful of gravies, sauces, stuffings, casseroles, etc., that might have chicken stock or meat fats or such stuff.

Nothing with gelatin (it's made from meat bones) like marshmallows or jello.

Some vegatarians don't eat dairy, but many do, so milk, cheese, eggs, etc. are fine.

Make sure to eat a variety of protien, like beans, seeds, nuts, tofu-- and plenty of veggies



2 liters evian, 2 espressos, 4 clementines, 6 bruschetta on panera french baguette so like half the baguette, run 6mph 7-8am then shower then this brunch daily



um, yeah being a vegetarian means you cant eat any meat at all. no meat. just to clarify... if it is a meat, you cant eat it if you are veggie. people always ask me like "well what about chicken and fish??" and im like ... CHICKEN AND FISH ARE MEAT! AHHHH. sry lol.

it also means you cant eat anything containing any kind of broth (like chicken broth or beef broth or oyster sauce.. etc). because broths are the juices of meat, which is basically meat.

as for the other stuff, you just have to decide where you draw your personal line with by-products. Technically, gelatin is not vegetarian. it is made from horse hooves. So that would mean that you cant eat jello, or lots of hard candies. Personally, i am not that strict with the by products all the time.

I personally eat eggs. some veggies dont, but i do.

I eat a lot of:
-morningstar meatless sausage patties with egg and cheese on an english muffin for breakfast
-cereal with soy milk
-salads with portabella mushrooms
-meatless chili and tortilla chips
-veggie fajitas
-wraps with lots of hummus and veggies
-celery and carrots with hummus dip
-black bean and corn salsa
-veggie soups with beans
-stir fry tofu and veggies with rice
-homemade pizza

i am a veggie.
