Welcome Christine!!! There is a whole forum for vegetarians so no worries about that. There are a lot of options for you. I used to be a vegetarian and I still eat non meat meals. Some options for you will be smoothies with protein powder, nonfat plain Greek yogurt, eggs (hard boiled are great for transport), raw almonds, a variety of beans (think soups and chili), cottage cheese and hummus. Today I am making cauliflower saffron soup with broccoli added in.
The recipes are a great start and there are veggie options. The only issue is if you have been surviving on morning star type products. Those are highly processed and a no no. TVP might be an option. You would have to send a note to the program about that. There have been discussions about tofu if you want to check into that.
I think you will find a lot of options and success will follow! Think health beyond the scale! Even bigger gals can be strong and healthy when tiny folks are completely out of shape. Good luck!
