What are the best food choices to help maintain a healthy vegetarian diet?

Asked by NerdyKeith (5489points) June 25th, 2017

I was previously vegetarian for three years, unfortunately I caved into the meat cravings and my choices may not have been the best.

So I am now going to try it again and I intend to be more successful this time. I’ve stopped eating meat and fish for almost two weeks now. I eat a lot of fruit, natural greek yogurt, cereals. I eat some pasta and rice during the week (usually once a week). I do eat a lot of the Quorn products.

As for vegetables? My variety of vegetables I eat could be better. I like mushrooms, corn, baby sweet corn, peppers, carrots, avocado, tomato (technically a fruit), soya beans, asparagus, potato and sweet potato. I do use a variety of different lettuces on salads, wraps, sandwiches and veggie burgers. Rocket and spinach are my favourites.

Oh and I do take a very strong multivitamin supplement. Same one I took as a meat eater. Turns out it is also suitable for vegetarians. It’s called Sona Multiplus
