Question: How can i replace meat in my diet!?
i'm 13, and i'm starting a vegetarian diet!.

When I was a teenager, I wanted to cut meat as well for the same reasons you do!. The important thing when you become a vegetarian while growing up is not only to make up for the protein but also the essential fatty acid that are complete in meat but partial in other protein sources!. So unless you are going vegan, I recommend that you eat eggs, cheese, milk, yogurt or any other animal product (except meat!!)!. Beans, tofu (soy), nuts and veggies are good protein sources but you have to mixed them in the same meal to have all your essential fatty acid and keep growing!.
Also, with Christmas coming soon, it might be a good idea to ask for cooking books!

My daughter is 13 and will not meat either so these are some things I make her:
If we are having burgers or sausages I get the Bocca brand for her and those are really easy to make and you find them in the freezer section at most grocery stores!.
She also likes grilled portobello mushrooms with bell peppers, cheese, tomatoes & pepperchines wrapped in a tortilla!.
Another important staple in a veggie diet is beans of all kinds!. They are filling and have protein as well!. She eats bean & cheese burritos for dinner all the time!.
Tofu is a good source of protein and can be flavored with taco seasoning & put into tacos instead of meat!. It can also be stir fried with veggies and teriaki or another Asian style seasoning and poured over whole grain rice!.
