Yesterday I decided to become a vegetarian. I’m an 18 year old male and weigh a little over 250 pounds with quite a bit of muscle mass that I’m afraid to lose (all the fat can go though!). I’m also straight edge.
What are the best vegetarian foods to preserve my muscle mass?
I also love cheese but I know it is fattening. What is the best kind of vegan cheese?

Hey guys, I’m a guy that love to advocate nutrition, health, and weight lost. I wanted to start a small discussion about weight lost programs and what worked for you guys. I hope each person learns a little bit through this discussion and maybe be inspired to try some of these. Ill start off with my story.
Growing up I’ve been bless to be skinny. During my senior year I started to weight lift, and saw myself getting much bigger then I expected and a bit stocky with a wider frame. This made me confident but I’ve always struggled with weight lost. Even though I was skinny I have always had a stomach which never gave me the defining abs I always hoped for. After Weight lifting for 2 years, I setup a new goal for myself. That goal was to get a decent 6 pack. I accomplished this within 5 months and this is how I did it.
This is not for everyone but this maybe helpful.
My exercises consist of morning runs after a protein drink, afternoon weightlifting, and night time runs.
My Foods are
Yogurt, rice, Chicken, and eggs.
I ate 6 times a day but really what helped me lose my fat and preserve my muscle wasn’t the food but the protein shakes I ingested. As most athletes know the more cardiovascular exercises you do the more fat you burn, but on top of that the more muscle you burn as well. you must find some way to supply your body with the right amount of carbohydrates and protein so when your doing that high amount of cardiovascular exercises it doesn’t eat away your lean mussels. The way I ended up countering this was adding a high amount of protein through shakes to supplement the low carbs that I didn’t have. This resulted in my body burning fats and protein after my carbs were all used up.
Now it’s been awhile since I’ve been back to the gym. I ended with 9% body fat but now because i haven’t been to the gym for awhile now i am back to where i started with 25% body fat. I will try to do this again within the next several months and ill keep you guys posted. Hope this helps and I am also very interested reading other peoples experiences as well. Live well my friends.

My vet said she’s a bit thin, and she is a very picky eater she doesnt even like thetreats I get her….Any foods I can feed her that she will really enjoy?
I was talking to a friend today he was telling me in 2012 the earths polarity will change. Like North with become South, South become North and the earth will start to rotate in the oppsite direction. I was reading a little bit on Nasa website and it was saying that the sun’s polarity was dur to change in 2012. I was just wondering do u think this will happen to earth?
I might not have I do read these things bit quickly sometimes. I think it was more like Nasa was predicting this.
I’ve decided to join the military and been gathering as much information as i can. From this information i noticed a lot of opportunities for me in the service but i want to make sure that i don’t go in one bit blind to reality.
So first off, my branch of choice is the Marine. I’ve always been into the law enforcement/Justice/military/war and during my senior year ohigh schoolol i sat down and really tried to find my place in the world. I asked myself, “What am i good at?”, and all i could think of waget inin into trouble and hurtin people. So i started speaking to family and friends from all the military branches and their pride and love for what they do is admirable and some even turned their lives around for the better.
With one foot alrdy in the door and stopped and realized i cant go in blindly like im sure most people do. So as i researched i learned about alot pros and cons, but for me everything was brighter then my current path.
Reconnoissance/Scout Sniper/Pararescue were the 3 specialty jobs that i know would fit me best.(I know these arent MOs’s and are privelages/indoc positions but its go hard or go home)
Went to the local recruiter office and sat down with 1 of the recruiters and listened to his BS for about 30 mins, he obviously was a deskboy his whole life and cared nothing for the upcoming marines futures. But i managed to speak to another recruiter who offered to let me take the ASVAB which i thought could only be taken after paperwork and such. After i took the ASVAB i got my scores with no clue how to read and went right to my recruiter to have him explain it. I scored a 92 and was told that is exceptionally high and would stand with me for 2 years.
I’m starting college in janurary and will be majoring in liberal arts till i decide on a major in engineering or criminal justice. Although i plan of making the military into a career, reality is if i get hurt and can no longer serve, being infantry really isnt much for my resume.
So now to my main purpose/questions,
#1) Although my leadership skills are great i dont want to be an officer, should i take college before the military or in the military or if possible associates before and finish my bachelors inside?
#2) Realistically how much longer and harder is it to get college credits while in the miltary?
#3) What events will i be limited to when it comes to visiting family (Death, Ilnessnes etc.) and will i always be able to be their for my family in emergency cases?
#4) How do i get into military schools such as Marksman School/Survival School/SERE, etc.?
#5) I’ve been long range rifling for about 2 years, with my remington 700 30-06, should i stop to try and drop any bad habits i might of learned since the military will surely teach me how to shoot all over?
There is so much more i’d like to know and say but i’ve asked enough on here, If you have any questions or just wish to help guide me further please email me at

Response to oscar d: If only I were that lucky.
Response to Eric A: The reason I dont want to be an officer right off the bat is because i feel theres so much more for me to gain as an enlisted and alway have the opportunity to be a mustang!
I have tried not to overlook any of the branches but right to my questions.
#6) Either while on active duty or when re-enlisting is moving between the branches possible/common for those who make the military into a career?
#7) If i am injured and cannot serve any longer do i still recieve the intuition money and bonus to school myself or does this void the contract somehow?
#8) Are there any public rifling schools that are military controlled cause i love to shoot but only if im gonna shoot properly?
#9) I’ve only purchased a ruck-pack and been doin 1.5-2mile walks with 25-30lbs in it to strengthin my odd muscles and get used to those nasty shin splints. Is there anything else i can do to put myself ahead of the rest?
