As the Total Wellbeing Diet focuses on achieving optimum nutrition from a variety of whole-foods (including meat), we do not currently have a vegetarian meal plan available. However, our program can definitely be adjusted for vegetarian eating patterns and below are the tips to best achieve this!
As a vegetarian you can use our vegetarian meal swaps. Simply use the arrows that appear under the meal name within your menu plan. This will open a new page, in which the available swaps will be displayed as a list. Once you are happy with your selection, then select 'swap one' (for just that days meal) or 'swap all' (for all times that meal occurs in that week). This will then amend your weeks menu plan, and shopping list to include the new ingredients.
You can also definitely substitute lentils and other forms of vegetarian sources of protein for the animal proteins. If you wish to substitute non-meat protein, we would suggest eating 100 g tofu or 100 g cooked chickpeas, beans or lentils instead of 100 g meat fish or chicken or 2 eggs for 1 unit of protein.
You can access our vegetarian recipes through our recipe index as well if you know the name of the recipe. Go to Food > Recipe Finder. You can search vegetarian recipes (serve more than 1) in our recipe finder. Simply type 'Vegetarian'.
You can search for foods or products that are vegetarian in the food search (note these will be individual foods not recipes).
Food > Food Search > "vegetarian"
You can search for vegetarian meals (serve 1) in the Food and Exercise Tracker. Simply click 'Search food, drinks, exercise' > type 'Vegetarian' > click through the meals available (some will be pre-bought meals and not those developed by our team).
Note: we have 150 vegetarian recipes available in our database.
