Is Vegetarian for you?

[King Phenomenon]

Veggie meat is gross and I don’t think I could handle a diet of tofu, lentils, beans, vegetables, seeds, and nuts on top of the grains I currently eat.

 

[SalixIncendium]

Yes.

I know. TLDR. Sorry.

Can't do it. Live in a group home it's difficult adjusting diet with that. I eat what they cook or have me cook unless I skip a meal cuz I can't eat it. Added to the fact i have a disability that if I was living on my own makes eating difficult at times I dont know if I could go vegetarian without risking me skipping meals because I couldn't bring myself to cook a proper meal or to eat a meal I've cooked. Legit my mind will force me not to eat if I dont want to eat what I have. And i will go without multiple meals when I cant find safe foods to eat. I notice this happens a lot with fruits. Fruit is unpredictable in taste and often I will take a bite then can't bring myself to eat the rest of it. It also happens with veggies but not as as often. It rarely happens with meat but can happen with it sometimes. I just dont want to limit my diet knowing I have this issue.

One of our family is pescatarian, meaning i often prepare a meat and a meat free meal each day. Two or three times a week we will all eat the same vegetarian food. Veggie food is more than tofu, lentils, beans, seeds, nuts and grains, it often contains vegetables too.

Yeah I don’t think I could handle those vegetables high in protein that vegetarians eat either on top of all the grains that I eat

And, just so you know, @King Phenomenon , vegetarians can have a perfectly unhealthy diet of cake and ramen.

I certainly did in my teen years.

Example, tonight we had a vegetable curry.

The other night was roasted mixed veg, it was delicious

Saturday I'm planning a goats cheese and spinach tart.

Etc...

Makes a change from meat

I'd never heard of pescatarian. The internet says fish and dairy is ok? I could do that because we only eat red meat once or twice a month for some unknown reason these days but I couldn't go full vegie.

Yeah I don’t eat large portions of meat. I don’t think I could just eat just a veggie dish and be satisfied for 5 hrs

I had never heard the word until @Secret Chief informed me that she'll eat fish so she's a pest-i-tarian

We have no problems when we have meat free days. We always have a desert too so maybe that helps

Dessert always helps.

Yup im crap at spelling, must be the veggie food I'm forced to eat

Wasn't a crack at your spelling... I just want dessert.

Yep, it's vegetarian plus seafood.

 

[Revoltingest]

I'm an occasional vegetarian.
It's just another kind of tasty fare available to me.

BTW....

 

[Secret Chief]

Veggie/vegan for 40 years. I seem to be coping. Good health, good BMI, low cholesterol, do distance running...

I'm vegetarian for short spurts.
For example I eat the lettuce by itself first before I eat my bacon cheese burger
