Basic nutrition

Protein It is very easy to get enough protein if you eat a well-balanced,

varied diet because there is at least some protein in virtually allfoods. Meat and fish do provide lots of protein but so do beans(including soya), peas, nuts, cereals (wheat, oat and rice), eggs

and dairy products (such as milk, cheese and yoghurt), lentilsand many meat substitutes.

Iron Iron is found in many different foods. A lack of iron is one of the

most common problems in typical British diets, but vegetarians

are no more likely than meat eaters to suffer from it. Goodvegetarian sources of iron include bran flakes, spinach, muesli,wholemeal bread, watercress, chick peas, red and green lentils,dried fruit, most nuts, kidney beans, tofu, pumpkin seeds, bakedbeans and sunflower seeds.
