I wanted to know if there are any women vegetarians that can share some of their eating plans that produce results. I just want to ensure that I’m on the right track and also needed some suggestions being that I am new to this.

I am not vegetarian, but for months at a time i have to go without meat, and i have clients who are vegetarian. Many, including myself, feel that it is harder to gain the same results in building muscle with a vegetarian diet than with a carnivore diet, however, it is attainable. supplements (ie multi-vitamins need to be your best friend, and as far as protein goes, beans, tofu(arguable), eggs/egg whitesdepending on the type of vegetarian you are), and fish are just a few things that you should be including in your diet. When i can’t eat meat, and I am training, my day looks like this.
meal 1: egg whites w/ 1/2 cup whole oatmeal
meal 2: banana w/ /peanutbutter or protein smoothie
meal 3: 16 bean soup (homemade) w: / 1/2 cup brown rice or salad
meal 4: whole oatmeal mixed with protein
meal 5: salmon w/ salad(incl. chick peas/garbanzo beans, kidney beans, olives) and olive oil/vinegar dressing
I am not a nutritionist, but that is how my day looks when i can’t eat meat, and it works pretty well. I definitely take a multi-vitamin and should probably take iron supplements during that time. Hope I was helpful! good luck!
