I'm fasting from Meat. I usually end up eating a lot of bread and pasta and i LOVE veggies so I'm totally okay with that!
Yesterday I had a flat crust veggie pizza and a salad with a scoop of tuna on top.
I had some hummus later on.
YOU CAN DOOOO ITTTTT!!!
I figure, If I don't have to give up alcohol, I'm GREAT!
ETA: FH and I are having a Veggie delight with cheese from Subway

Tofu!!!! I love it!!!
You can make a tasty tofu cous cous salad.
Replace the water used for the cous cous with veggie broth.
Than chop squares of the Tofu and sautee them in garlic and olive oil, add chopped tomatoe, olives, spinach and capers. Combine with cous cous. Tada a really filling meal!!
or you can make soup:
Tofu cut in blocks, veggies (your choice), sautee with a little garlic and seasoning, add to veggie broth. (sometimes I add a 1/2 can of tomatoe soup to thicken it.) You can add brown rice if you like to make it more filling. And tada tummy filling soup.
If you can eat Seafood, stock up on those fish in a bag things from costco and BJ's. They have Salmon, Tilipia, Cod, Sea Bass, Maui Maui etc.
Stick to fruit in the am or have yogurt with it. I like cereals with high protien, b/c it keeps me fuller longer. Than at lunch eat tuna salad, hummus, crab salad, etc. At dinner make a little extra so you cna bring it for lunch the next day.
You can totally do this!!! I was on diet similiar to this when they were trying to figure out my stomach issues, and i have to say, I felt pretty amazing.
Good Luck BTW, if you need recipes I have tons!

Ladies, lent starts tomorrow on Ash Wednesday not today.
I was a vegetarian for many years so if you need ideas I would be glad to help.
The key to a veg diet it protein protein protein or you will not get the nutrients that you need.
Are you still eating eggs? They are like a super food. Also tofu and spinich and other leafy greens will give you the energy and nutrition that you need not to get sick.

I always do that. I don't eat meat all of Lent. I used to be a veg for years (started at 12), but then my body craved meat, so Lent is my time to give it up again. It's hard, but doable! Good luck!
