There are quite a few good online resources such as http://www.vegsource.com/. There is an article just posted that talks about how just being a vegetarian isn’t necessarily healthier. You have to focus on eating plant based food. When I became a vegetarian, a friend gave me a book called “Vegetarianism for Dummies”. It was a joke gift, but it also has some good info.

Getting enough protein is important, but so is B12, calcium and Omega 3 fatty acids. I take spirulina pills for protein, a multivitamin and flax seed oil pills.

Thanks for the link. I’m not sure if she is doing it to be healthier - her only stated reason is “I don’t like the taste of meat”. (Her boyfriend heard this, and asked “Even bacon!? His jaw dropped when she said yes. Pretty funny.)
She has some friends that she looks up to and that might be part of it, or it is because she doesn’t want to “hurt” the animals.

Regardless- thanks for the link and the suggestions on the supplements. She does take a multivitamin so I’ll check the label.
