Re: Vegetarianism

(Anonymous) 2015-05-05 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Of course it's not going to register as meat, because it's not meat. There are amino acids and B12 complexes that you just aren't going to get out of plants or the uber-over-processed "fake meats" that passes for veg fare, these days.

Now, that said, "opportunistic omnivores" does not mean eating meat 3X a day with meat snacks in between, and a side order of meat. It means eating a MOSTLY plant-based diet, with a little bit of meat mixed in, and other healthy protein sources to top you up.

Note I said healthy protein sources.

So, not the jar of Skippy, but the jar of peanut butter that has literally one ingredient listed: Peanuts. (Okay, some have salt as well, but check the sodium to see how excessive it is.) A tablespoon a day, keeps colds and flus away.

So, not the quorn or the tofurkey or the fake burgers (exception to be made for portobello mushroom cap burgers because those are just awesome) but a couple of free range beef sliders, as a treat, one meal out of every five? Go for it! Instead of frying up a pan of sausages for your breakfast, have two, (any variety you like) with a well-rounded meal balanced out by, frex., broccoli salad, or roasted cauliflower, something substantial like that.

If you're vegetarian and not vegan, you also have the option to avail yourself of the complete protein available in eggs. As in, eat all the eggs, in every way possible (example: add one egg yolk to your oatmeal cooked in almond milk and it turns out like custard), and you're generally good, for your complex protein sources. Eggs are pretty much the staple protein source for 99% of the omnivores on the planet.

I'm lactose-intolerant, so dairy milk is out of the question for me, but if your stomach doesn't hate you, one cup a day will help with upping your protein intake, especially if you buy the higher-fat-content milk, 3% or higher.
