Wondering what an average vegetarian/vegan diet looks like, I generally eat quite a bit of meat each day as I'm a gym junkie etc and need the protein, Iv never really thought though about what a veg/vegan would eat, just curious.

Cheers.

You can either just replace the meat from your diet with fake meat or just have foods that replace what you get from meat, spinach, seeds etc. Protein is not a problem.
Anything in particular you wish to know about dietwise?

Actually, protein is easily obtained from beans and pulses for us vegans

so, lentils, kidney beans, butter (lima) beans, chickpeas and aduki beans. quinoa and tofu also supply protein and are easy to prepare.

The fake meats, I feel, can be more of an odd treat; I wouldn't be happy feeding my stomach with those processed ingredients on a regular basis.

Vegetarians tend to have more varied diets in general. But you get literally all sorts.
I hate the idea of something pretending to be meat.
I have no problem getting protien. I have a problem eating the recommend ratio of Carbs actually. I do eat alot of veg carbs, but I don't have a taste for starchy things.
