How to Hit Your Protein Goal on a Vegetarian Diet

Hey guys! Ever wondered how to hit your protein goal on a vegetarian diet? Yes? No? Maybe?  Well, I wanted to talk a bit about how you can hit your protein goal when you’re a vegetarian. I get this question a lot, especially from prospective vegetarian nutrition clients who want to track macros. I feel like many people think that macros are just for people who eat meat, but they’re really not.  The tips listed below for how to hit your protein goal on a vegetarian diet will work for just about everyone.

In a perfect world, we’d all sit down every morning to a leisurely, healthy breakfast.

GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH CALORIES I’ll be the first to admit that any grilled cheese sandwich is high in calories. They are not a food you want to eat every night for dinner.

Low fat cheese is incredibly processed stuff. So choose wisely. That being s
