Since you are so knowledgable explain why I am an idiot for doing this and what I am missing from my diet .
He can't and won't. You may NEED a Vitamin D2 supplement and vit b12. Protein is obtained from nuts, beans, legumes, some leafy vegetables. Calories needed from protein 5-30% depending on whose research you read. 30% is standard American heart healthy number.
What you are going to miss is taste and deliciousness. Steak IS delicious. Cheese IS delicious. If you get passed that you are good. Everything else is just an excuse to continue to eat animal products because they are delicious. But to try to suggest a person can't live or thrive on a full blown vegan diet is just false. Therefore vegetarian as well.
Vegetarian can lean too heavily on cheeses etc. if so you are wasting time. Just liquid meat. And if you are vegan and all you eat are chips and guacamole all day you can be a fatty too.

I know he can't and won't. It is just one of my pet peeves when people try to talk about something they don't know crap about. I have been eating a vegetarian diet with some eggs and cheese and daily protein shakes so there is nothing my diet is lacking in compared to someone eating meat.
