    I've been a vegetarian for 7-ish years. Trying to eat more vegan meals and ridding my diet of a huge amount of sugar and cheese. My diary is open to friends (just opened it) and I hope this will give me the extra motivation now as my goal is to be healthy :) Feel free to add me, any vegetarian, vegan or veg-curious!

    I guess technically I am a pescatarian, I eat seafood and dairy. But I have been meatless (besides seafood) for about 4 years. I am looking for friends that are living similar lifestyles and trying to lose a little bit of extra weight. So add me if that is you!

    I eat no meat, chicken, fish.

    I do not drink milk, but if I eat something that has milk in it, I will eat it. I just don't like the taste of milk (never have), so it was easy to give up. I keep powdered dry milk on hand if I need to cook something that requires milk.

    I do not use eggs. When I bake, I use egg replacement (Ener-G Powder). Along with milk, if something has eggs in it, I will eat it, but I do NOT keep eggs in my house.

    I eat cheese. I have yet to meet a cheese I didn't like.

    I try to consume as little animal product as possible, but I will NEVER go vegan.

    I will eat sushi if I am able to because that's a specialty and something I don't eat very often anyway.

    On a side note, I went grocery shopping and was about to buy some sour cream. I read the ingredients, and one of them was gelatin. Gelatin - in sour cream? Yuck. Gelatin is on the forbidden list for me.

    I've been a vegetarian for 3 months. I eat dairy and eggs still. But am strict against all other meat products. All people around me are meat eaters...my closest coworker is even doing a paleo diet, so it would be great to have some veggie friendly friends on here! Feel free to add!

    I've been flirting with veganism for a while but I think vegetarian is probably a safer bet. I'm working on moving back, but it's hard on a tight budget. (Yay for college student budgets.)

    Feel free to add me, any vegetarian/vegan people. I'm always up for swapping recipes (or recipe resources.)

    I been a veggie for 32yrs and never gone back to eat meat or fish I also try and eat organic fruit and Veg although I grow most of what I eat in my garden, However I can admit The one thing I miss is a bacon sandwich with branston sauce so to feed my temptation I use Quorn Bacon style the product you can get today has a lot more variety than when I first started back in the 80s The thing we have to consider is that processed food carry sugar and salt to take in consideration when dieting, but there also a big advantage especially using the Quorn Mince low in Fat and high in protein....Cakes are my biggest temptation

    Hi all,
    Joined on a few weeks ago...been vegetarian for about eleven years and considering going vegan because of a few things I've been reading about the health benefits. Any vegans out there who might be able to provide some insight?

    Proud to be a vegetarian and going strong at 5 years. However my use of this site's meal tracker has informed me that despite my conscious efforts, I'm still not getting enough protein....anyone with advice, please advise away! As a long-distance runner I should be getting about 75g/day, but I'm only averaging about 40.....

    Do you eat dairy? Greek yogurt and cottage cheese are protein rich. I also use hemp protein powder in my morning smoothies. Or edamame as a snack? Roasted chick peas? Peanutbutter?

    Hi. I've been veggie for most of my life. I do eat veggie cheese, eggs from my own hens and I drink milk. I'm a very picky eater who struggles to get protein in my diet. I'm currently going with the 'eat what I fancy but try to keep within my calories' approach and for this reason my food diary is currently locked to save me being embarrassed to log what I'm eating, however, I hope to change this very soon. I have requested to add a few other people who have posted here and would love any other vegetarians to add me.

    I would like to add few good vegan/vegetarian friends, too. I'm 63, been vegetarian (almost vegan) for about two years. I do not eat animals, including fish (that's right, Virginia, fish are NOT vegetables), although I have been known to share a cheese pizza (can't resist) and eggs/milk are in practically all prepared foods, so they are difficult to avoid. Leather in clothing, particularly shoes and belts, is another problem for a vegan lifestyle.
    I don't drink milk. We are hooked on almond milk at my house.
