22 Things To Know Before You Decide To Stop Eating Meat

Whether you're thinking of going vegetarian or vegan or just trying to eat way less meat, these tips can help you do it in a healthy and sustainable way.

1. When you cut meat out of your diet (or even just cut way back on it), you'll want to make sure you're still getting enough protein, iron, calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin B12.

Those are the top nutrients that vegetarians may fall short on, Tara Ostrowe, MS, RD, a New York City-based registered dietitian and exercise physiologist, tells BuzzFeed Life.

An app like Wholesome can help you log what you eat every day, and it'll tell you how close you are to your daily recommended allowance of each nutrient. It can also give you tips for which foods you might want to eat to hit the nutrients you're low on.
