My wife is a vegetarian, and I was one for years. As such, we eat a lot of meat free dishes at our house (my goto cookbook is Mark Bittman's How to Eat Everything Vegetarian). Even now, I usually eat meat only a couple of times a week (not counting eggs).
Beans, greens, eggs, nuts, complex grains (like quinoa) are your friends.
Cheese and grains are fine in small portions, but a lot of vegetarians go crazy on the cheese, grains, and bread, which isn't all that healthy.
Also, I'll put my and my wife's general fitness and strength up against 98% of this board (including Buck).
