You need a list of what you CAN eat? Why not a list of what you CAN'T eat? That is really simple..... NO MEAT.



And you want to be a vegetarian someday? So what are you doing now, stocking up?

Sugar would be made with bone char, yet it incredibly is in many cases a project for vegans, yet some vegetarians will evade it, too. for sure, something with meat, fowl broth, or meat inventory is a purple flag. yet I additionally evade right here aspects: Gelatin, rennet, some enzymes (quite often in cheese), diet D3 (additionally customary as cholecalciferol), Mono and Di-glycerides (this is going to be an animal bi-product approximately 50% of the time, yet each and every each and every now and then it could come from flowers, purely google any nutrients with this and do a splash analyze), Lard, pepsin, stearic acid, and glycerin. purely examine the component label heavily. If it has one in all those in it, do no longer eat it. If it incredibly is not a possibility to work out the aspects, it incredibly is terrific to no longer eat it. God in basic terms is accustomed to what try to be eating!

Obvious no-no's include meat, fish, and processed meat products.



Less obvious things to look for include foods cooked in processes that involve meat. A hash brown fried in lard is still fried in animal fat, so that's 'banned'. Be aware also of the use of animal-derived rennet in some cheeses.



Look out for ingredients that you might never guess were non-vegetarian. Gelatin, used in plenty of jelly sweets, looks vegetarian, right? Wrong. Keep looking on food labelling to see that it has a green 'V' or other guarantee of vegetarian-friendly status if you aren't sure, and get into the habit of doing it for all except the most obviously vegetarian foods. Restaurants also are now using the green 'V' on their menus to signify that there is no meat in the meal - keep your eyes peeled for this.

tofu, vegetables, falafel, veg-burgers- not meat - go to your library and check out some veg cookbooks give at least 5 to 10 of them a try and if you don't like over 50 percent of them maybe being a vegetarian isn't for you. Or if you have a whole foods or Trader Joes near you ask workers there for help.

There are certain levels of a vegetarian, If you want to become a vegetarian for the reason of killing animails then you would stay away from all foods that came from an animail. If you just don't like meat like me you would stay away from meats. You can eat vegtables, fruite, beans, nuts, and depending on what the reason is on becoming a vegtarian you could eat cheese.

Hi!!

I am a vegetarian and my mom is too. The rest of my family is flexatarian (LOL). This is what you can eat:

~ tofu (obvious)...honestly I don't eat it very often

~ meat substitutes...from BOCA and morning star farms..can find these in the freezer section in the grocery store.

~ veggies

~ fruits

~ eggs (if you want to be a lacto-ovo vegetarian..i am that and my mom is too)

~milk...

~nuts

~PASTA!!love it!!!!!=]



That is what you can eat when you are a vegetarian!



I hope I helped!!!=]

2008-01-11 15:55:04 UTC
It depends on what type of vegetarian you are planning on becoming. For example, my sister is a vegetarian but she just doesn't eat red meat. the most drastic type of vegetarian is where you don't eat any animal products like eggs or milk.



Hope that helps!
2008-01-11 15:53:39 UTC
Try googling 'Foods Rainbow' or 'Food Groups' and look under protein, and try eating anything there except for the mean... obviously :) Without your basic protein you might get an eating disorder, it happened to my friend not long ago. Also, eat your veggies and fruits and dairies as you normally would. Good luck, chica =)

well eats easier to say what you can't eat and it also depends how serious you are.

1. meat ( that's obvious)

2. fish, although many vegetarians still eat meat

3. dairy products

4. eggs

5. gelatin

people who don't eat any of these things are very serious about vegetarianism and being vegan but there are still many levels that aren't quite as extreme

Uhhh...vegetarian means no meat. It's pretty simple.



It's when you get to ovo-lacto vegetarianism and veganism that you start having to make lists of what you can and cannot eat.
2008-01-11 15:54:22 UTC
Well Idk what KIND of vegetarian you want to be but if you want to be a vegan..

Vegan vegetarians avoid eating any animal products. Vegans do not eat any meat products, milk, cheese, eggs, honey, or gelatin. Many vegans choose not to wear clothes containing animal products, such as leather, wool, or silk, or wear makeup tested by animals.



I hope this helps...♥

Everything that's not meat. No beef, poultry, fish, dog, or cat. Byproducts are acceptable.



If you mean vegan, well that's a whole other story. They abstain from eating animal byproducts, including eggs, milk, and honey. IMO, if they make that decision, they should abstain from yeast (bread and beer) as well. Don't be a vegan. Vegans suck.
2008-01-11 15:54:03 UTC
Vegetarians don't eat animal products. However, there are many "levels" of commitment.



Some vegetarians eat eggs, and dairy products, some even fish. It all depends on how far you want to take it.

From a nutritional standpoint, chickpeas are an excellent source of protein, proteins that are devoid of purines, and are therefore ideally suited to those who suffer from gout. With respect to other legumes they have a higher fat content, which makes them more caloric; they are therefore not what one wants during a diet. However, they are quite rich in calcium, making them a good choice for combating osteoporosis, are also rich in iron, and are an excellent source of fiber. They're instead sodium-poor, which makes them a good bet for those on reduced sodium diets.

Try a middle eastern vegie dish, Its called Falafel.

Falafel are Vegie patties, Ball shape, made from crushed chick peas and parsley, they sell it in kebab shops, try it and if you like it you can make it? http://mideastfood.about.com/od/maindish...

its probably easier to use the can of chick peas..

Falafel is usually wrapped in pita bread with salad, and you have it with tahini sauce (sesame sauce),

this is a recipe for Tahini sauce: http://mideastfood.about.com/od/dipsands...

After preparing the Falafel and the tahini sauce, this is how you prepare the Falafel sandwich using some salad ingredients.

http://mideastfood.about.com/od/maindish...

Another great recipe is Tabouleh, Tabouleh is a salad like no other. Made with fresh veggies, olive oil and spices, it can be eaten in pita bread, scooped onto pita bread, or traditionally with a fork. Try this recipe for Tabouleh, http://mideastfood.about.com/od/soupssal...

Try make a hummus, Hummus is a dip/spread that is made from chickpeas. Local supermarkets often sell it in the fridge/ dip section, try making your own, http://mideastfood.about.com/od/appetize...

You can buy the Tahini in some supermarkets, if you dont like the tahini (sesame sauce) you can try the recipe without it:

http://mideastfood.about.com/od/dipsands...

you can also try looking at this, Middle Eastern vegetarian recipes, http://mideastfood.about.com/od/vegetari...

Enjoy.....

Here's a list of what you wouldn't eat....meat.



If you go vegan, I think you'd have to skip milk, cheese, butter, eggs - to the extent that you have to search for vegan cookies and cakes!

* Cherry, sweet, black, sour, and wild species (Prunus avium, Prunus serotina, P. cerasus, and others)

* Chokecherry (Prunus virginiana)

* Greengage, a cultivar of the plum

* Hybrids of the preceding species, such as the pluot, aprium and peacotum

* Peach (of the normal and white variety) and its variant the nectarine (Prunus persica)

* Plum, of which there are several domestic and wild species; dried plums are called prunes



Berries



In non-technical usage, berry means any small fruit that can be eaten whole and lacks objectionable seeds. The bramble fruits, compound fruits of genus Rubus (blackberries), are some of the most popular pseudo-berries:

Raspberries

Raspberries



* Blackberry, of which there are many species and hybrids, such as dewberry, boysenberry, olallieberry, tayberry and loganberry (genus Rubus)

* Cloudberry (Rubus chamaemorus)

* Loganberry (Rubus loganobaccus)

* Raspberry, several species (genus Rubus)

* Salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis)

* Thimbleberry (Rubus parviflorus)

* Wineberry (Rubus phoenicolasius)



The true berries are dominated by the family Ericaceae, many of which are hardy in the subarctic:



* Bearberry (Arctostaphylos spp.)

* Bilberry or whortleberry (Vaccinium spp.)

* Blueberry (Vaccinium spp.)

* Crowberry (Empetrum spp.)

* Cranberry (Vaccinium spp.)

* Huckleberry (Vaccinium spp.)

* Lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea)

* Strawberry Tree (Arbutus unedo), not to be confused with the Strawberry (Fragaria)



Fruits of North American origin



(Includes Canada and the United States and all other countries that produce these fruits) Some other fruits native to North America that are eaten in a small way:



* American grape: North American species (e.g., Vitis labrusca; Vitaceae) and American-European hybrids are grown where grape (Vitis vinifera) is not hardy and are used as rootstocks

* American Mayapple (Podophyllum peltatum; Berberidaceae)

* American persimmon (Diospyros virginiana; Ebenaceae)

* Beach Plum (Prunus maritima)

* Blueberry (Vaccinium, sect. Cyanococcus; Ericaceae)

* Chokecherry (Prunus virginiana)

* Cocoplum (Chrysobalanus icaco; Chrysobalanaceae)

* Cranberry (Vaccinium oxycoccus)

* False-mastic (Mastichodendron foetidissimum; Sapotaceae)

* Ground Plum (Astragalus caryocarpus; Fabaceae), also called Ground-plum milk-vetch

* Pawpaw (Asimina triloba; Annonaceae, not to be confused with Papaya (Carica papaya; Caricaceae), which is called pawpaw in some English dialects)

* Dragonfruit (Hylocereus undatus; Cactaceae), also called pitaya

* Prickly pear (Opuntia spp.; Cactaceae)



Podocarps



Podocarps are conifers in the family Podocarpaceae. The seed cones are highly modified and, in some, the seed is surrounded by fleshy scale tissue, resembling a drupe. These berry-like cone scales are eaten by birds which then disperse the seeds in their droppings and the cones can be eaten in many species. Podocarps are either half-hardy or frost tender, depending on species. Many genera are similar in that they have edible "fruits" and often don't have a common name.



* Kahikatea (Dacrycarpus dacrydioides)

* Manoao (Manoao colensoi)

* Nageia (Nageia spp.)

* Podocarpus (Podocarpus spp.)

* Prumnopitys (Prumnopitys spp.)
