Vegetarian Tips

I’m looking to have some vegetarian recipes for food prep and meals. It is difficult to do in a place where everything is meat oriented. Can someone help me?

I'm not sure what you're asking. I've been vegetarian for 50+ years, and a routine MFP user for almost 10 years. I just cook/eat whatever I've been cooking and eating, and log it. If I want vegetarian recipes, I look in the MFP blogs using "vegetarian" or "vegan" as a search term, or do a web search, or look at Pinterest, or something similar.
I haven't found that everything here is problematically meat oriented, though of course there are lots of meaty things in the database.
I hope you're not trying to other people's recipe-type entries in the food database like "lasagna" or "shepherd's pie" or "pea soup" or whatever. Even other meat-eaters have no idea what's in that kind of entry that was created by some other person. (The food database here is almost entirely crowd-sourced, i.e., entered by other MFP users. We have no idea what their recipe was.)
Don't use those entries. Make your own recipes or meals, and make sure the simple ingredient-type food items you pick from the database are accurate. Yes, that takes time at first, but your Recipes and Meals are there for you to use forever, and individual foods you eat regularly will stay in your recent/frequent foods and come up first when searching to log in your diary, so that time is an investment in longer-term accuracy, plus it won't take that much time forever. It's a start-up process.
If I'm not interpreting your question accurately, I apologize. If that's the case, and you can clarify more what you're looking for, I'd certainly try to help. Like I said, I'm not too clear what you're asking, and I can easily believe the interpretation problem is all on my side.
Best wishes!

Maybe looking at specific vegetarian recipe sites might be advantageous for you and then all you have to do is add those ingredients from those recipes in MFP. Just a thought. For example I'm keto and eat predominantly animal protein and I would never count on finding properly formulated keto recipes here.

The oldest established vegetarian culture is in India, so Id recommend looking into vegetarian Indian food.
I also say this because I think its the best tasting food in the world.
