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
  • Don't rely too heavily on cheese as a protein source
  • B12 is still important if limiting animal products
