Actually, that was a good quick read on the subject, thank you! My other thought was that I can't eat enough legumes to get enough protein, because that's still not something I can eat more than once in a while, and I still can't eat nuts much either. But looking at the list on the bottom of the page, I'm probably ALREADY getting enough protein, because I eat a LOT of vegetables, fruit, and oatmeal these days. Neat!

Yep, people get more protein than they need! Glad it was informative.

You don't have to like tofu to be a vegetarian. My husband hates it (he's a veggie) so we never have it in the house. I order it out sometimes, but we don't eat it regularly.

You're my Canadian twin! Well, ok, except that you're prettier. 
Hey, at least you've gained less weight than I have!

I am not prettier! Silly Casey. We are twins though.  
I have gained less but will catch up in a day or two with the way it's going!

Yup, I'm a veg who doesn't eat soy or beans/legumes because my tummy can't tolerate them. But with my recent round of blood tests for the fibro dx, I seem to be fine and getting enough protein!

People assume we veggies don't get enough iron. I've been one for over a decade and have a blood test (annual check up) once a year and have never been low.

I've been off the pill for 2 weeks now and have already lost 4 lbs. 2 of them came back when I had a second period this month (ugh), but I think most of that is water because my pants are loose.. will have to see next week. I used to love the week after my period because I always felt my skinniest!

Ya, I'm on my period now so that doesn't help with my feeling a bit blah.
