Diet plan for vegetarians to reduce fat

Vegetables are an ideal food source when it comes to losing weight and reducing fat and this is because they carry fewer calories and have a higher fibre to carbohydrate ratio than starchy foods such as whole grains and bread. For vegetarians, controlling the build-up of fat in the body is therefore not hard partly because the higher fibre to carbohydrate ratio means that the body feels full for longer thus keeping the urge to feed away for some time. However, to manage the otherwise unnecessary build-up of fat in the body, a diet plan is needed and which will act as a guide to give direction on the best possible meals for the day and practices. Here are suggestions that have proved to work for many vegetarians keen on reducing the amount of fat in their diets or the build-up of fat in their bodies.

Breakfast

For breakfast, the following food options are highly recommended by nutritionists because of their low fat content and few calories.
1. Shredded wheat and bananas; this meal has will provide 250 calories
2. Banana milkshake and fruit salad; 260 calories
3. 2-3 slices of toast and peanut butter and a glass of fruit juice (285 calories)
4. Mushrooms, beans and tomatoes on toast; a can of baked beans is just enough while two slices of toast do just fine (380 calories)
5. Scrambled eggs on toast; 2 eggs and a toast (280 calories)

Lunches

For lunch the meals should have a higher calorie count especially if the count wasn’t as high for the breakfast meal for obvious reasons. The following vegetarian themed meal options do a great in reducing fat build up in the body.

1. Italian salad; the Italian salad has been known to work for long especially if avocado is the fruit of choice and vinegar is also used. Vinegar burns the fats out while the avocado fruit provides the right fats for the body. This meal contains 345 calories.

2. Two oat cakes, a half carton fresh lentil soup plus some fruit juice (345 calories);

3. Cheese on 2 slices of toast and one can have baked beans plus a fruit supplement (370 calories)

4. Mixed bean salad; this meal has a calorie count of 435

Dinner

Lunch meals can also pass for dinner except that the body requires less calories during night time to function optimally because of the reduced levels of activity. The following vegetarian meal options are excellent for dinner.
1. Roasted vegetables with salad and fat free dressing. (380 calories)
2. Vegetables and a bowl of brown rice (390 calories). Brown rice has more fibre content than white rice while delivering fewer calories.
3. Moringa leaves:
The moringa plant is the most nutrient dense plant on earth containing almost all known vitamins, the essential amino acids and providing as much carbohydrates as the whole grains.
4. Greek salad (365 calories)
5. Moroccan salad:
Definitely there are many more meal options but the above noted have proven to work on weight problems and fat issues.
