So Im trying to lose weight and just eat healthy in general one of my resolutions was become vegetarianso I was wondering did I eat okay? :
Breakfast:
1 crepe with nutell
A pear fruit cup
Green tea with honey
snack: Pretzel sticks and water
lunch:
A grilled cheese sandwich on made with whole wheat bread mild cheddar and I subsituted butter for the actual grilling of it with olive oil Organic tomato soup and a fruit cup again
Snack: A fruit cup.
Dinner: Vegetable soup with a muffin it had veggies beans in it.
Dessert: A fat free jello cup.
And I just had some crackers. Like 3.
Am I doing okay? I know its not perfect I can improve in some places and Im trying hard to make my meals balanced for calcium I really dont like eggs and milk etc so I take calcium pills daily.
I am including walking in for my exercise I walk on the treadmill.
Also the fruit cup for breakfast and lunch had only 70 calories in them and the one for my snack was one I bought at school that had all sorts of fruit. Plus I dont really count calories and the muffins were homemade.

I just got 3 spuds and a bundle of carrots. Whats a quick dish?

For instance Chilis bar and grill they put the vegetables below the meat and at Whataburger they put the veggies above. Does it matter where they put it?

Im making this recipe: http://vegetarian.about.com/od/maindishentreerecipes/r/BlackBeanBurger.htm
Ive already started it and I just noticed we dont have any beans... oops.
Is there anything I can substitute the beans for or do I have to scrap the whole thing?
Or do you have another easy recipe for veggie burgers?
Lol I give the pop tarts a thumbs up but no I actually just cooked some potatoes when I read that.
Thank all of you next time Ill make sure I have the ingredients BEFORE I start cooking :

I really would like to Im disgusted at the thought that Im eating a dead animal that was probably treated very poorly. Im not sure how I would do it though...my family eats very unhealthily already most of their meals containing meat and Im afraid that if I didnt eat meat all Id eat was junk food. Plus Im not sure what Id eat when we go to a relatives at least once a week to have dinner and like I said theres almost always meat involved and nothing vegetarian. We always grab quick meals and I dont have the time to cook every night...are there any fast easy vegetarian meals? Any tips on doing this and vegetarian foods to buy?
Also Im worried because I absolutely hate almost all vegetables. :x Which Ill probably have to get over and shove them down anyway to become one. Its so bad that even something like raw carrots make me gag.
