To be honest, if you're eating enough of nothing else but vegetables to keep you from feeling hungry then you are also eating enough protein!. People think vegetables are inferior in some way!. The only way meats are better at all is that meat contains elemental iron which is already processed to be stored by animal tissue and is absorbed faster than iron found in vegetables!. Meat also contains a higher concentration of iron than vegetables!. Other than those distinctions you can continue to eat as many vegetables as your palate desires and be assured you're not missing out on anything which the addition of 3 ounces of steak/beef once a week won't fix!.
