in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone! My name is Heidi and I am a college student. After unfortunately gaining the freshman 15, I'm looking to get back on track with my diet and exercise. I have also newly become a vegetarian for personal reasons, and I'm hoping tracking my food intake and exercise will help me to keep a balanced diet and hopefully lose some extra weight. Wish me luck! <3

    Good luck! Remember to get your protein in, going vegetarian makes it harder to eat enough protein.

    Good luck! Since I am not a vegetarian, I was thinking about whey protein as a substitute for you per katiek1119's comment. I have it on the weekends with fruit like a smoothie.

    Thank you both! I eat a lot of Morning a Star products which are great!! They have a ton of varieties of veggie burgers, veggie dogs, and even veggie chicken patties! They taste awesome and are packed with protein. Personally I prefer them to meat products because they don't leave you feeling crappy afterwards!
