I keep reading that I need to make sure I have enough protein, but how much is enough?

It's hard for me to find stuff, I'm a vegetarian. Someone said I'm to have 160g a day! Holy shmoly!!

Help please!!

recipes, please!

My surgery is June 29, and now that I'm newly single and moving towards my best lifestyle - I want to move to a vegetarian/vegan diet. I'm a huge animal rights advocate, and hate factory farming - I want to start walking the walk!

Thanks!

YAY! Please email me @ vsaun@msn.com - I'll send you links to recipes. Peta.org has a great selection of easy recipes too - I always make the slow cooker lasagna and my dinner guests never know its vegan! Also a great cook book to start with is the 30 minute vegan!

I am trying to stay away from overdoing it with soy - so am switching to almond milk and more Beans and grains along with the veggies...
