@Electronic_Bunny Rice and potatoes make up about 50 percent of my diet as is. Haha. Truthfully, I don't eat a lot of meat, and it's primarily chicken when we do (cheap), but we eat a lot of cheese and eggs, as they can stretch a dish. So, I'm almost lacto-ovo-vegetarian, but not quite there. I'd like to get to a better point, though, it's killing our planet. :(

@CoalKropotkin That is true but every step counts and halfway/working towards it is a thousand times better than nothing at all. I'll have a little bit of fish once a month and eggs maybe bi-weekly so I understand. See how you like cooking beans from scratch (very easy just takes time) and you could make tostadas (baked shells) easily. You could also try variants of corn salad as well. GL on whatever you do though!

@Electronic_Bunny I love cooking beans from scratch!! :) We also tend to do a ton of corn tortillas, since they're amazing, and don't require anything but mas harina and water. :D soooo many starches in my diet. Haha. Thanks for the encouragement, some of the more... Adamant vegans I've met are under the impression that it's an all or nothing system, and trying and only getting part way is worse than not trying somehow.

@CoalKropotkin It is no worry. The more, yeah lets call them adamant, individuals tend to think the world will be saved if everyone switched today. Its complex though and the last thing we need is to criticize effort made into self-improvement. Good luck on your diet! I am still trying to fill up holes myself to improve.

@Electronic_Bunny Lemme know if you find any super cheap recipes to get some protein! Haha.
