When removing meat, chicken and fish from a diet, learning how to replace the missing protein, vitamins and minerals is important. By using meat alternatives, such as beans, lentils, soy, tofu, nuts, and seeds (and eggs and dairy), all protein requirements should be met. Vitamin and mineral intake may be trickier, so here are some helpful tips. Vitamin B12 Since this essential nutrient is mostly found in animal-based foods, such as meat, dairy and eggs, strict vegetarians have to find alternative sources. Good choices include fortified soy beverages, fortified "mock meats" (such as veggie burgers), nutritional yeast and vitamin supplements. Calcium Vegetarians who consume two to three servings of dairy products daily will probably consume sufficient calcium. Those who restrict dairy will have to increase their intake of calcium-rich foods by including leafy greens, almonds, sesame seeds, beans, figs or calcium-fortified Iron The richest source of well-absorbed iron is meat, so vegetarians need to look for alternative foods. Fortified breakfast cereals, beans (chickpeas, lentils, navy, lima and kidney beans), oatmeal, firm tofu, dried apricots and pumpkin seeds all contain iron. Pair any food from this list with vitamin C–providing strawberries, potatoes, tomatoes, sweet peppers or citrus fruit to help boost iron absorption. Zinc An essential mineral in the diet, ample amounts of zinc are found in meat. To replace zinc, vegetarians can choose these foods: beans and chickpeas, soy nuts, cashews, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, almonds and yogurt. Seeing a registered dietitian is a great first step to help plan a balanced diet. They can help ensure that all nutrient needs are met by following a well-balanced diet.

Flexitarians are people who eat vegetarian meals most often but still enjoy meat occasionally. Many people choose this increasingly popular lifestyle because of their growing concern for the environment, since they believe that raising animals for the sole purpose of using their meat as food is an inefficient, planet-harming process. While animals eat large quantities of grain, they only produce small amounts of meat, dairy products or eggs in return. In fact, it can take up to 7œ kg (16 lb) of grain to produce just 500 g (1 lb) of meat. Choosing a diet based on vegetables, beans and grains is less harmful to the food supply and to the earth, and cutting back on meat consumption is one way many environmentalists help protect the planet.

Many animal ingredients are present in very small amounts. Some animal products, such as casein and whey — both derived from dairy products — are acceptable for vegetarians to eat but are not acceptable to vegans. Others, such as rennet (which comes from the stomach lining of calves and other baby animals), is unacceptable to all vegetarians.

This includes The Dirty Dozen, a list of the fruits and vegetables likely to contain the highest amounts of pesticide residue. It also features the Clean 15, a list of fruits and vegetables least likely to contain pesticides. How this helps: Choose organic produce when buying anything listed on The Dirty Dozen. As the EWG says, "The health benefits of a diet rich in fruits and vegetables outweigh the risks of pesticide exposure." The Dirty Dozen for 2013: 1. Apples 5. Grapes 9. Potatoes 6. Hot peppers 10. Spinach 2. Celery 3. Cherry tomatoes 7. Nectarines 11. Strawberries 4. Cucumbers 8. Peaches 12.
