Do you know the difference between a vegetarian, a pescatarian, a lactoovovegetarian and a vegan? Either way, let’s talk. Specifically about protein. Are you getting enough protein in your diet without meat or animal products in your diet? The reality is, probably not. But the good news is, we can help!
Vegetarians abstain from eating meat, poultry, fish, and eggs. Pescatarians refrain from eating meat, poultry, and eggs. Lactoovovegetarians do not eat meat, poultry or fish but consume eggs. Vegans refuse to eat any animal product or any kind – meat, poultry, fish, eggs, cheese, milk, yogurt, etc. Whether you have chosen one of these meat-free diets for health reasons or religious purposes, let Eat Chic Chicago help ensure you are still getting the nutrients your body needs.
