I had my surgery about 5 months ago and am interested in being vegetarian. We’ve been doing Hello Fresh and I’m preferring the vegetarian meals most of the time and all meat besides steak doesn’t feel very pleasant to eat.
I know ethically it’s better to be vegan but I think it will be too difficult with my current dietary restrictions.
I have to get at least 60 g of protein a day and I only have room for about 2-3 oz of food per meal (I eat 3 meals a day). Does this seem doable as a vegetarian? I’m going to talk about it with my doctor, but it feels like it would be. I might need to add a protein shake or 2 into the routine.
They didn’t give me a macro to stay under, but carbs are a waste of space.
They didn’t really give me a vegetable hierarchy, but starchy vegetables like potatoes and cauliflower don’t count as vegetables.
On a plate I basically need to eat all the protein before I can eat vegetables and then all the vegetables before I can eat any starches, but typically don’t have enough room.
