Answer:
I'm not getting your question clearly-- do you want to be a vegetarian or do you want to make sure you are eating enough veggies and also your protein from meat?If you want to be a vegetarian- no meat- just cheeses, beans, tofu ....and that's vegetarian, not VEGAN- they eat nothing that lived or is a byproduct of a living thing- which would mean no cheese or eggs.If you want to know what you should be eating to be on a healthy diet, go to dietnation.com good luck to you

you can get protein from beans, nuts and eggs. you can get your carbohydrates from fruit. i don't think that you can get adequate nutrition from a veggie and fruit diet... and it'd be hard and you may be more likely to relapse than if you had some protein and carbs.

Lean meats are better for you than red meats. Eat about a palm size daily or every other day. Bread 2-4 slices a day should be fine but don't forget to include your veggies and fruits. If you are a vegetarian take multivitamins.

Eat beans, all of em they are protein. No bread or eat Rye, Pumpernickle, whole wheat. No butter. Dark green veggies are great. So are stir frys. With chicken, shrimp or beef. Good luck

You don't need any meat or bread per day.Be sure to eat a lot though, at least 5 large pieces of fruit per day plus 1-2 huge salads (it should weight more than a pound.) I'd take a multivitamin to be safe, and add some walnuts, flax seed, or hemp seeds to your salad so you get omega-3.

Personally, I find this a little stupid (for lack of better word). Not sure why people cut things out of their diets thinking it helps. Maybe it does for a short time, but in the long run, your body needs the vitamins from other foods as well - including fats and sugars. Depending on your calorie intake depends on how much you need of each. Labels are based on an intake of 2000 calories.

i'd say to eat what feels right! it may take a while to learn what is right for your body.i eat mostly fruits and vegetables. i used to be a vegetarian, but now i just eat meat sparingly. sometimes, i will have a salad with a portion of meat in it... i usually have 3 or 4 servings of meat per week. a serving is about 3 ounces... it's not very much! to say that everyone needs 8 glasses of water or 3 glasses of milk seems absurb to me- i think different people need different things.fresh produce, in my opinion, tastes best. i would look at a food pyramid, to check out what you "should" be getting. whole wheat pasta is great for the fiber. wheat breads. dark greens, broccoli, all of the strange vegtables you can tolerate, eggs. quorn!!! garlic, ginger, basil, pesto, cilantro, shallots, scallions. homemade salsa. (partially) homemade tomato sauce... milk, cheese, ice cream, whipped cream. apples, oranges, bananas, pineapple, strawberries, raspberries. it makes me happy, sometimes, to eat a rainbow spectrum of colors.

I'm not a nutritionist so this isn't an expert answer, but I would say that with a fruit %26 veg diet your biggest concern would be to get enough protein. You don't even have to eat meat to get that protein. All you need to do is to add enough unrefined grains, legumes, seeds, %26 nuts in your diet, including breads that are whole-grain. The amounts that your body needs depends on your height and weight, and maybe other extentuating circumstances. That would decide how many daily calories that you need to maintain your weight.
Hope this helps.
