I am fifteen year old male and I want to try a no whole meat diet for a week will you help me?
I'm an athlete so I need to make sure I get enough protein. I was going to accomplish this with peas, beans, and nuts. I was also planning on continuing to eat eggs and milk. Are there any supplements I should take to go with this? I'm also planning on steaming a veggie mix and maybe eating eggs too. I may try again later without eggs or milk but I'm a fan because of the vitamins and protein in them.

You don't need any supplements, just good old fashion nutrition. Vegetarians are at no disadvantage in sports, I should know because I am one. You didn't mention what sport you do, however you can get enough protein from a vegetarian diet. I eat 150 grams of protein daily from mostly beans. Eat 0.6 grams of protein per lbs of bodyweight, unless your a bodybuilder, then increase it to 0.8-1.0 grams per lb of bodyweight. So if you weight 150 lbs, you need about 60-70 grams per day, if your a bodybuilder at least 115 grams per day. I've gained over 50 lbs of muscle in vegetarian bodybuilding so if you decide to remain a vegetarian, just know you may even perform better than when you ate meat because meat makes most people a bit sluggish. Cheers.
