When ordering out at restaurants order any dish but with no meat. Pasta just ask to substitute with more veggies. Sandwiches, same thing. Order three side dishes instead of a regular meal. A lot of places have great veggie side dishes. Aqui in Campbell always has veggie options and most food in Thai restaurants you can select tofu instead of meat with almost any dish on the menu. Soups can be made with vegetable stock instead of chicken broth, the possibilities are pretty limitless. There's vegetarian chili, pot pies can be made with all veggies and at home veggie stir fries are quick and easy. Serve with brown rice (NEVER white rice) for complex carbs that are also nutrient dense. If you have a rice cooker the only thing you need to do to prepare perfect brown rice is to soak the uncooked rice in warm water for 30 minutes before cooking as usual. If you try to cook it just like white rice it will come out tough. Or you can buy a brown rice cooker or use a pressure cooker. I use both. I'd suggest using Google to look for recipes. I use it quite frequently to find really good ones. Well I can help you out on number 2 since I eat vegetarian three to four days a week.
