XP from IF: Is anyone a Vegetarian?

in Pregnant after IF

It was suggested by my naturopath to not eat meat or dairy to see if it helps with my endometriosis (and inflammation).  I don't know if I'm eating right and getting enough protein.

Could you list what you typically eat in a day (with snacks included)?  I really appreciate it!

    Not a vegetarian, but here is a good site with what restrictions you should look to make to help with endo.  I tried it for awhile after my lap but it was very hard to stick with.  Might help you out though: https://www.endo-resolved.com/diet.html  Good luck!

    Breakfast: Smoothie with fruit, yougurt, flax oil, soymilk, OR Orange juice w/ added calcium and steel cut oats with soymilk (unsweetened)

    Snacks: fruit, salads, cheese and crackers, apples/bananas and nut butters, cottage cheese, muffins (Basically a carb and a protein)

    Lunch and Dinner: Varies but has proteins (Tofu, dairy, egg, other soy, quorn, gardien, etc) and veggies.  I also love whole wheat pasta and vegan "meatballs" with pasta sauce that has chopped up veggies inside the sauce.  Yum.

    Drink LOTS of ice water and take your prenatal vit, folic acid and iron supplement.

    I've been a vegetarian for 11 1/2 years.  I am not a vegan, so some of what I eat is dairy and I do eat eggs.  Here are some of the staples of a successful vegetarian diet:

    beans (many kinds and very frequently), peanut butter, eggs, cheese, veggie burgers, protein bars, yogurt, whole wheat pasta, quinoa, wild rice, edamame, nuts, and all veggies (of course).

    Good Luck!

    I'm also vegetarian and what we eat is really not so different minus the meat. One option you could try is to substitute the meat with soy based meat alternative that are sold in most grocery stores. They usually have a big selection of stuff like soy / veggie burgers, soy "chicken", soy "ground beef", etc.

    Breakfast: cereal, oat meal, toast, eggs, fruit, etc.

    lunch: sandwiches, yoghurt, fruit, salads, etc.

    dinner: pasta, pizza, stir fry, sushi, etc.
