Tami, my daughter and I were lacto-ovo vegetarians for three years. We never had any difficulty getting the right amount of protein either. Soy is an excellent source of complete protein - things like tofu, soy milk and veggie burgers. Vegetarian Times is a great source for information and recipes. I'm not sure if they have a website, but I'd guess they do.

I have to agree with Sue, the biggest problem we had was eating too many carbs initially. But once you get more comfortable with vegetarianism, you'll find there is a huge variety of delicious foods to eat.

Good luck!

Kathy
