Vegetarian Diet

[marie]

People who follow a vegetarian eating plan, on average, eat fewer calories and less fat than nonvegetarians. They also tend to have lower body weights relative to their heights than nonvegetarians. Choosing a vegetarian eating plan that is low in fat and that provides all of the nutrients your body needs may be helpful for weight loss.

But vegetarians... like nonvegetarians... can make food choices that contribute to weight gain, like eating large amounts of high-fat, high-calorie foods or foods with little or no nutritional value. Vegetarian diets should be as carefully planned as nonvegetarian diets to make sure they are balanced.

Nutrients that nonvegetarians normally get from animal products, but that are not always found in a vegetarian eating plan, are iron, calcium, vitamin D, vitamin B12, zinc, and protein.

Food and beverage sources of nutrients that may be lacking in a vegetarian diet include:

• Iron - cashews, lentils, spinach, garbanzo beans, fortified bread or cereal
• Calcium - dairy products, tofu made with calcium sulfate, fortified soy-based beverages, collard greens, kale, broccoli
• Vitamin D - fortified foods and beverages including milk, soy-based beverages, or cereal
• Vitamin B12 - eggs, dairy products, fortified cereal or soy-based beverages, tempeh, miso (tempeh and miso are foods made from soybeans)
• Zinc - whole grains (especially the germ and bran of the grain), nuts, tofu, leafy vegetables (spinach, cabbage, lettuce)
• Protein - eggs, dairy products, beans, peas, nuts, seeds, tofu, tempeh, soy-based burgers
