    I am a strict vegetarian. Only organic dairy, and only eggs from farms I know.

    I exercise 4 or 5 times a week, mostly running, some circuit training. 5'5", 123 lbs.

    Hi, I'm veggie and have an open diary for friends. Log on MPF daily and have a goal of getting to the gym 6 days a week. Feel free to add me, I like having a nose at other veggie food diaries too :)

    I am neither, but I am trying to minimize my consumption of animal protein and I am looking for inspiration from others. Apart from animal protein and the occasional steamed sweet potato my food is raw. No grains no dairy, down to 100 grams of animal protein a day.
    I am looking for ways to balance my fat/carb/protein without giving up and resorting to something that had a face once.

    I'm a vegan and want to befriend some peeps with similar diaries and active exercise logs. If anyone has some some tasty food recipes or vegan-oriented tips that would be awesome too. :)
    P.s. As a vegan or vegetarian what is your biggest nutrient concert and how have you overcome it?


    I've been a Vegetarian my entire life (since birth, literally)

    I am now bordering on Vegan.

    I try not to consume eggs and most dairy, and I never consume Soy (Unfermented Soy is Toxic for all humans, but it's also horrible for my Thyroid)

    I'm getting back into vegetarianism and would love to have you add me! As well as anyone else following a vegetarian/vegan diet - I enjoy looking at diaries for ideas! My very favorite thing is my breakfast smoothie:

    1 cup coconut milk
    1/2 cup oats
    1 tbsp cocoa
    1 banana
    About 4 ice cubes

    I use my magic bullet to blend/grind it all into a delicious chocolatey smoothie!

    I am a vegetarian. Not vegan though, as I rely rather heavily on greek yogurt and egg whites for protein.

    My doctor recently suggested that I cut out cheese and reintroduce white meat and/or fish in my diet for health reasons but I really don't want to. I would really appreciate any veggie friends with open diaries to help me prove my doctor wrong!

    What has the doctor said that you need to prove wrong?

    Vegetarian since birth and became vegan jan 2010, then when I became pregnant I started consuming cheese again, now I regret it horribly and hopped back on the anti-cheese wagon since new years. Vegan from here on out ;)

    Vegetarian here! Friend request sent.

    I've been vegetarian for 12 years. I cook most of what I eat and most of the recipes I use come from AllRecipes.com or Wholefoodsmarket.com. I've recently started strength training so I've have been trying to eat more protein and have been able to hit the daily goal pretty easily with beans, quinoa, nuts and yogurt. I run and bike. I just had a physical in December where they did a complete blood chemistry and everything was great, including B12 which is the hardest to get for vegetarians/vegans. So a vegetarian/vegan diet can be healthy and nutritious with careful planning and knowledge. I think cooking your own food is the best way to ensure this.

    I am a vegan for more than 10 years. It has been so long that I have to chuckle when folks ask me if it is hard. it actually seems easier to me since there are so many unhealthy foods you just don't eat.
