Vegetarian Diet

shannonc1982 Posts: 5 Joined: 2003/02/19	2003/02/19, 02:20 PM Hi, I'm new to the program and I've noticed that protein is really stressed. How do I get my protein?!? I've been a vegetarian for years and I used to be proud of myself when I got 40g a day. My diet plan requires 123g!! I don't eat any meat or fish and I do not eat eggs (unless they are cooked in something).
