Vegetarian Food Plan - the reason for the blog

On 1/4/2010 I met with Leslie at the Absolute Weight Loss and Nutrition Center. I was weighed, body fat determined, met with the Nurse Practitioner, and then met with Leslie to go over my eating plan to meet my weight loss goal of 80 lbs. I choose to follow the traditional diet. The diet focuses on protein and carbs. To throw a wrench into this form of eating I am vegetarian. Since I do not plan meals nor choose the correct way to eat, I live on carbs.

Thus the question, a diet high in protein and no meat? I knew I could do it and get creative about it so I decided to blog some of the ways I reach my protein goals. This way I can remember the different thing I "invented" and can cook them again in the future. so I can keep track of the different ways a vegetarian can meet the required protein.
