Vegetarians and Vegans

I've been a vegetarian since 1995; 90% of my meals are vegan, I eat fish 1-2x a year, will eat bread that has milk and eggs in it, and will sometimes eat an egg. Prior to two car accidents I was a body builder and have learned how to get up to 120 g of Protein on a vegetarian diet without using dairy or eggs.

I have dozens of vegetarian recipes, resources, and 16 years of experience for anyone interested in vegetarianism.

As for being a vegan 100% of the time, I love cheese and just haven't found an ideal goat cheese substitute. There are great regular cheese substitutes for those wondering.

So if you would like to talk about being vegetarian maybe this topic will help.
