Dealing With Vegans

I want to be vegetarian, but my parents tell me I’ll become anemic. What other foods can I eat to get protein?

Also, what other foods contain iron? I hate meat and I wonder how other vegetarians, as well as vegans, deal with a lack of certain nutrients.

My daughter wanted to be a vegetarian. Here is what I found out.
You might also want to check with your doctor. Milk has one gram of protein per ounce of milk. peanuts and peanut butter have protein, (make sure you are not allergic), yogurt, tofu, some breads, cheese. Just remember 8 ounces of milk has 9 grams of protein, 4 ounces of chicken has approximately 24 grams of protein and anyone under 25 needs about 60 grams of protein a day. You will need to eat alot of the other foods to get enough protein. You will also need to take a multi-vitamin everyday.
Read labels. Be careful the vegetarian meat substitutes can be high in fat. Being enemic comes from lack of iron not lack of protein. You could eat raw spinach in your salad to get the iron. but most meats do not have a whole lot of iron but liver is known to have a high amount of iron. There are iron supplements you can take just be careful they can constipate you if you take too many. You can eat apples and raisins to help with that. Hope I helped
