What are some nutrition tips for a vegetarian diet?

Asked by occ (4176points) April 8th, 2007
I was raised vegetarian (hippy parents) and have never eaten meat. I eat eggs and dairy but no meat, poultry, or fish. I have good eating habits and eat a lot of whole grains, beans, eggs, dairy, fruits, and green leafy veggies. I'm wondering if there are any nutrients that I'm still not getting, i.e. vitamins or compounds that are only found in meat, poultry, or fish. I feel generally healthy and reasonably energetic but since I've never eaten meat I have nothing to compare it to. Is there a supplement I should take?
