How can I have a healthier vegetarian diet?
As a vegetarian, and especially as a lady, you need to make sure you’re getting enough iron. Most people get their quota of iron from meat, and we vegetarians just have to make a mental note to eat some iron-rich foods every day. Examples are spinach, beans, nuts, lentils, peanut butter, tofu, soy, broccoli, seeds, and other things. If you want to know for sure what you’re lacking in your diet, have a doctor run a blood test on you. Are you eating a lot of pasta and white bread and cheese and fried food? Those will fill you up on empty calories and they are typically low in nutrition. Try eating more fruits and veggies, use whole grain products instead of white (rice, bread, pasta, etc.) and eat more beans and nuts.
