You do not need to just eat meat to get your protein. I love this list by livelovefruit.com. Start by substituting one dinner and 1 lunch a week with a healthy vegetarian option. Gradually increase until you are eating at least 6 healthy vegetarian meals a week (3 dinner/3 lunch).
You will not only feel better but so will your wallet!! Look through my website for some healthy and yummy vegetarian recipes.
