Being Vegetarian

Being Vegetarian

Hi guys! Today I'm going to write about why I chose to be a vegetarian, how I'm doing it, and what research I'm going to do/I have done about it.

I chose to be a healthy vegetarian because I want to be healthy, live a longer life, and be in good shape. You can live like this and eat meat but I find that the way I was eating meat, covered in things like sauces and in larger portions wasn't that healthy. So being a healthy vegetarian, I won't eat meat or anything that comes out of a bag or box like chips and candy bars, at least not very often.

With being vegetarian I have to make sure I'm getting things like calcium, vitamin d, vitamin b12, and iron. Eventually I'm going to make the meals that I eat more fresh foods because the more you cook something the more nutrients you loose. On the nutrition facts I want the sugar content to be low and have little to no saturated fats just unsaturated ones. When you're a vegetarian you still want to get the correct amount of calories just in a healthy way.

The food that I think I'm going to have the most trouble giving up is bacon. I think I'll also miss chicken wings and fried chicken. I don't really think I'll have to much of a problem giving these things up though. I can still eat things like fish and crab.

Overall I think being a vegetarian is going to be challenging at times but I think that I will stick with it.
