[quote=Anonymous]I’m a strict vegetarian. A few years ago, I was unhappy with my weight and successfully lost about 30 lb (and have so far kept it off for about 3 years) by really upping my protein and fat intake. I eat a lot of nut butter, cheese, yogurt, and milk. I also eat a lot of veggies but try to make sure I have a solid fat/protein at every meal.

Typically, I eat yogurt + oats for breakfast, a salad plus a lot of protein for lunch (avocado, eggs, nuts, cottage cheese, hummus or some other fat/protein on it— not just lettuce and veggies), and a big roasted veggies + rice or pasta meal for dinner. I also absolutely love peanut butter and will put it on anything as a meal. Peanut butter on anything (toast, bananas, apples) is a great easy meal. 
 
I firmly believe vegetarianism is a great lifestyle choice, for many reasons. However…it can lead to more of a reliance on carbs, which are not inherently bad, but you can start to rely way too much on them, not getting the fat or protein you need, leading to overeating. I was trapped in that cycle. [/quote]
