Foods from the grain products group should be used as the basis, not the only component, of a healthy diet. Include fruits, vegetables, dairy and protein to round out a healthy meal.
Many people choose vegetarian diets for a variety of reasons.
Vegetarians sometimes do not get enough protein and other vitamins, iron, zinc etc., found in meats. Look for other ways to obtain these nutrients-eggs, tofu, beans etc. Women need more calcium and iron in their diets than men. Iron can be obtained through lean meats, whole-grain breads etc.
