I bought a new vegetarian cookbook last night.. It is beautiful and has a lot of great recipes...after reading it I have one Comment. Wow a lot of the vegetarian food is high calorie. Be careful with it.. you might think that by giving up meat you will lose weight, but this will depend on what you eat.
Some examples are:
Stir Fried Egg Plant with Lemon.. 640 Calories a serving.
Barbecue Vegetable and Tofu Kebabs .. 795 Calories a serving
Roman Gnocchi -697 calories a serving
Mediterranean Vegetable Hotpot - 710 calories a serving..
Warm Pesto Pasta Salad - 868 Calories a serving
Well you get the picture.. wowser.. I am glad that this vegetarian cookbook has the calorie and nutrition information in it. I had no idea how fattening this stuff was/is.
If you decide to go this route, make sure you know the calorie information for your recipes.. It makes a huge difference.
