Re: Question from a non-vegetarian
i HATE TO tell you this but your daughter may be masking an eating disorder.
Many young people today with eating disorders mask it by calling themselves vegetarian.
YOu might want to investigate, ask her about her choice.
Get into the why!
I am completely vegan and I literally eat all day long, from the time I wake up till the time i go to bed.
Of course I never gain any weight but that's also genetics.
I weighed just 10
pounds more as a meat-eater.
Your daughter should be getting more proteins.
otherwise she'll have that hallow face vegetarian look.
YOu will see some vegetarians/vegans look 10 years older than they really are because they're not getting enough protein so the body makes up for it by consuming muscle in their faces and everywhere else, hence that "hollow face" look.
NO collagen under the facial skin leads to an aging looking face.

barlean is a great bran
for dinner she can have pasta with chopped vegetables like cabbage, onions, garlic, parsley, kale and she can switch for different vegetables on other days.
3 hours later she can snack on black grapes or some other fruit
There's no reason why your daughter should be eating so little.
