Vegetarian meal plan

This plan is to enable you eat a balanced diet. The plan should be set according to your gender, work type and financial status. Though the most nutritious meals are not necessarily the most expensive, one should consider how much they want to spend over a meal.

The vegetarian meal plan should consist of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, minerals, vitamins and water. Since a vegetarian meal excludes meat products, the proteins should come from the plants products. These you can get from cereals such as beans, peas and lentils. Plant proteins are always faster assimilated into the body than the meat proteins. The body is able to digest it faster too. A meal containing a lot of meat takes more than six hours to be fully digested. Meat does not have fiber or roughage. This makes it hard to excrete too. The meat lines itself in the inside walls of the colon. As you take more of the meat products, the walls becomes expand more and more. This is the reason why most people have a pot belly just below the waistline.

With the plant proteins, you avoid this occurrence. A vegetarian meal plan containing the above mentioned substances helps keep your body healthy. You will find that you are more energetic and alert. An exercise routine should be incorporated in the vegetarian meal plan. This will tone your body and remove any extra fats and calories you may have absorbed. Exercise also increases your energy levels. It makes you feel good about yourself and the world at large. Take lots of water while exercising to avoid dehydration.

 

what is some planning for vegetarian meals?


What are three guidelines for planning vegetarian meals?

Your question is slightly unclear... 3 guidelines?

- Include a good source of protein in your lunch
- Ensure a good source of fibre in your meals
- Make your meals as nutritious, colourful and appealing as you can

-------------------------------------------------------------------
This is from the wheel of good health, designed for vegetarians. (Some of the products mentioned below are not vegan).

Fruit and Vegetables
5 portions a day
Fresh, frozen, juiced, tinned or dried fruit and vegetables are particularly good sources of vitamins, minerals and fibre.

Bread, other Cereals and Potatoes
5 portions a day
Base most of your meals on these starchy foods. Use wholemeal or wholegrain versions as much as possible and avoid adding lots of fat. These foods give us carbohydrates for energy, fibre, protein and some vitamins and minerals.

High Protein Foods
2-3 portions a day
Include a variety of pulses (for example beans, lentils, peas and chick peas), nuts, seeds, eggs, soya, mycoprotein (Quorn) or wheat proteins to give you plenty of protein, minerals and vitamins.

Milk and Dairy Products
2-3 portions a day
Good sources of calcium, protein and some vitamins. If you are avoiding dairy foods, choose fortified soya, rice or oat drinks or make sure that you eat other foods that are high in calcium.

Fatty and Sugary Foods
0-3 portions a day
Although we need to eat some fat, we all need to eat these foods sparingly and try low fat alternatives.
