Why vegetarian diet checker matters
A vegetarian diet excludes meat and fish but may include dairy products and eggs. It focuses on plant foods with optional animal-derived products like milk, cheese, and eggs.
- Eggs and dairy can help meet protein needs
- Include a variety of plant proteins for balanced nutrition
- Iron-rich foods pair well with vitamin C

Serving size, prep, and portion notes for almonds
Are almonds high in oxalate? Yes, and that is the headline. Almonds are one of the most oxalate-rich foods around, so they are often the first thing a kidney-stone clinic tells you to cut back. They are also high in nickel, high in salicylates and a high-FODMAP nut by the handful, which means almond flour baking and a daily glass of almond milk can quietly stack triggers even though the nut itself is gluten-free and only mildly histamine-active.
Watch for
Very high in oxalate, a leading dietary driver of calcium-oxalate kidney stones. Almond flour concentrates it because a single cup uses dozens of nuts / High in nickel, a common flare food for people with systemic nickel allergy / High in salicylates, worth noting if you react to aspirin or other salicylate-rich foods / High FODMAP in a generous handful, so a large serving can bloat a sensitive gut / A tree nut, so off the table with a tree-nut allergy or nut-triggered EoE
