I have a friend who's a vegetarian (eats cheese, eggs & milk, just not anything that you have to kill an animal to get). What I'm interested in is 4 or 5 real-world L & G meals that she could do should she choose to start MF. I'm a meat and veggies girl, so I'm no help! Can anyone help me?

Many Thanks!

Veggie here! Does she still eat seafood?

My leans so far have been: low fat cottage cheese, omelets, bay scallops, salmon, boca burger.
She can also have morningstar burgers, tofu, low fat cheese, shrimp, fish, crab...any seafood, I believe.

I haven't had one singe L&G meal where I wasn't satisfied yet. It's almost too much food.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Joelie, I'll have to ask her if she eats seafood, but I don't think so!I guess what I'm looking for is a few full L & G meals to tell her about and get her excited...Like spinach & cheese omlette with 2 eggs, blah blah blah cheese, 1 1/2 cups of spinach. I guess I'm kind of trying to show her a little meal plan to let her know she can do it! I'm not the most creative L & G'er, so I'm having trouble with several ACTUAL meals she can make to make up her mind!


Thanks again!

Oooo...that spinach and cheese omelet sounds GREAT! I'll have to give it a whirl. I told you I wasn't very creative.

2 eggs or 1/2 to 1 cup of egg beaters (more food with the egg beaters ) sauted onions, green peppers, and mushrooms (1/2 cup mixed) and I sprinkle a little bit of low fat cheese on top. To get the rest of my green portion in I usually cut up a cups worth of tomato and saute them a bit in some garlic...I have it on the side.

If she likes tofu - I make kind of like a stir-fry that's pretty tasty.
1/2 block of firm tofu in bite sized pieces, 1 1/2 cups of squash, zucchini and tomato...I stir-fry this together in Pam and spray it with this roasted garlic spray I found at a local health food store...but I'm sure most health food places have it.

1 can of tuna (in water) on 2 cups of salad greens with 1/2 cup of cut up tomato and cucumber.

I like tuna and tomato together too. Will be experimenting with tuna stuffed tomato. Just need to fine tune it.

1 cup of low fat cottage cheese with black pepper and 1/2 cup of tomato.
(this doesn't sound much but is really pretty filling)

1 Boca Burger and 1 1/2 cups of steamed veggies. I had this tonight with broccoli and cauliflower...sprayed with a bit of "I can't believe it's not butter" and sprinkled with some garlic and herb Mrs. Dash.

Hope this helps.

All that stuff probably will sound good to her, probably what she eats already being a vegie

Veggie Lasagna without noodles (eggplant takes place of noodles) Yum!!

Thanks for the ideas! I'm gonna pass them on and see what she thinks. I really appreciate the ideas! I'm gonna try a couple of these myself!


Thanks again!
