For an example: Right now I am eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I do not know how healthy the inside condiments are, but I have it on Spelt bread.... The other day I ate something called Ezekiel bread!

My oldest step son is a vegetarian, so he eats 2-3 protein bars a day, I add Protein powder to his soy milk.  He eats Tempeh (a fermented soy bean alt. meat bar thing), fish, noodles, and sushi a lot.

The soy is the worst becaue you never know what to do with it.

 

Protein intake is not a real problem for vegetarians. I've been vegetarian for almost 7 years and I've never taken any supplements and hardly eat soya.

Just want to clear up that misconception.


There is no misconception, he is about to be reduced to nothing so he gets what ever we can throw at him. Flax seed is another thing that gets sprinkled on everything he has.

You are dead wrong sir. Being vegetarian is healthier and there need be no defficiencies if one simply eats sensibly. I have several friends who are vegetarian and my fiancee is also. None of us are having to go through those extreme measures. Protein is not a problem - vitamin b12 and iron are more of an issue than protein.
