I need help I don't eat meat or any dairy

Meat is good source of protein though. But if u wanna cut it all out then I recommend salmon, tuna, lots of vegetables.

Why did you stop eating meat and dairy? Medical reasons? Ethical reasons? Another reason?

What do you like to eat? Do you have any other special dietary or medical needs? Are you in the US (to make food suggestions more helpful)? Are you restricting calories right now?

Salmon and tuna I never like them so I will go with vegetables. Thanks

Vegetables are good, but if you were using meat and dairy to meet your protein needs you will want to consider foods with a higher protein count: tofu, beans, tempeh, seitan, grains -- these foods will help you meet your protein needs.

Wut?

Hi 12Ace12 - I've not eaten meat or dairy for the last 3 years. I highly recommend that you take a look at one of the 21-day or 30-day challenges, like the PCRM 21-day challenge or Colleen Patrick-Goudreau's 30 day vegan challenge. They'll have lots of daily menus for you to get started with.

A basic meal plan you might consider starting with (so you don't starve while you figure out what you want to eat):
- Smoothie or oatmeal for breakfast (consider trying a tofu scramble, they are delicious)
- Leftovers or salad with lentils, baked tofu, veggies, sunflower or pumpkin seeds
- Veggies & hummus or apple slices & almond butter for snack
- Tofu stir-fry or a quinoa bowl for dinner (quinoa/rice bowls - add a serving of your favorite beans, a serving of greens, and your favorite sauce, I like a peanut sauce - yum). I also highly recommend Angela Liddon's Lentil-Walnut taco meat mix - you can find the recipe for free at her blog Oh She Glows.
- Frozen banana ice cream for dessert

You'll be fine - and you certainly won't starve. Good luck to you!

Salmon and tuna are both meat.

Beans are a great source of protein and fiber. Ideas:

Stuffed peppers - bell pepper stuff with brown rice, tomatoes, onions, etc.

Black bean burgers

Wonton cups - press wonton wrapper in muffin tin, fill with beans, tomatoes, corn, etc. Bake. This is versatile enough to fill with different ingredients.

Zucchini boats - scoop out zucchini, fill with marinara, veggie, etc. Bake in oven.

Whole grain pasta or high fiber pasta. You can cook 1/2 portion then toss in roasted veggies.

Vegetable lasagna.

Idk if you eat eggs but omelets with vegetables are great.

Vegetarian chili. I used different types of beans - pinto, kidney, black beans, diced tomatoes and season with chili seasonings.

Bean burritos.

Vegetable stir fried rice.

Portabella mushroom burgers. Yummmmy! Season and grill then put on a whole grain 100 calorie sandwich round with favorite toppings.

Vegetable fajitas. Peppers, onion, mushrooms, tomatoes seasoned with fajita seasoning and serve with tortilla.

Then remember you can take leftovers and transform into other things like chili would be good over a baked potato. Also, great with brown rice.

Snack idea is to take garbanzo beans, drain, season with spices and bake for a great spiced chickpea.

I'm not vegetarian but I tried eating vegetarian once and I adore vegetables. Hope these help.
