[quote=Anonymous]I was vegetarian in HS too and gained a good bit of weight as a result (and have struggled with my weight ever since.) A big part of it is I was very anemic (VERY) and I had zero energy but lots of cravings. Do what you can to turn this around for him sooner rather than later.

Focus on beans, lots of beans (and protein in general.) They're filling, and have lots of iron and other vitamins.

Get a crockpot and make a big pot of pinto beans every week.You can leave them whole, yummy or throw them in the blender for "refried" beans. Also yummy. You can put a little cheese on them, serve in a burrito or taco or eat plain. You can add avacado, lettuce, tomato, cheese (jack is good) etc in a corn taco shell. Easy and healthy and food a typical teen would like.

The cookbook I had as a teen was by Sunset and there are recipes in there I still use. Nowadays vegetarianism is much more prevalent so there are a lot more books to chose from. I recommend a visit with a dietitian to help him understand his body's needs and how to meet them. I went to a dietitian as a teen and she had no experience with vegetarianism so it wasn't that helpful.[/quote]
