Thank you for the suggestion as I personally love Indian food. So I’ll definitely start looking into more of the vegetarian options as I think half of my weight issues is the red meat

Yes Indian food is great! I have lots of Indian-inspired recipes here: https://www.easycheesyvegetarian.com/category/cuisine/indian-recipes/

I’ve never taken any supplements other than just a standard multivitamin (which I’d take even if I wasn’t veggie!). People seem to worry most about protein as a vegetarian, but actually it’s usually iron that’s more of a concern, so I’d just make sure you eat plenty of iron-rich foods and you’ll be fine :)

Ahh you’re so lovely to be doing that with your daughter! I think if you’re happy to eat meat substitutes (which it sounds like you are), you shouldn’t have any problems, as you can just replace the meat with the meatless equivalent. Otherwise I’d just try to stick to hearty meals (lots of beans, lentils, etc. as the protein will help fill you up). Lots of vegetarian food doesn’t follow the same ‘main + 2 sides’ formula that a lot of meaty meals do, but it’s more often an all-in-one type meal, like a casserole for example. Lots of hearty meals here :)

Today I had oats for breakfast and meatless chicken tenders for lunch. My problem is in a 250 guy and I hate that feeling when you don’t eat enough. I am always worried I didn’t eat enough. I wish there were an easier way to know your eating enough. It is hard going from a meat main dish with 2 sides.

Any help would be awesome! Are there any like week 1 vegetarian meal plans? I saw some but honestly, I think I would need to be a stay at home chef to make.

Lots of the above can apply to a hard switch! Use meat substitutes to make it easier if you find you’re missing meat – or if not, jump straight in with beans, lentils etc :)
