drink milk (full fat for best effects) like it's going out of fashion. nice bit of protein and also fat. don't worry if you prefer skimmed, it still has protein.

cheese is good for protein too, it's very fatty as well.

eggs are also your friend ;)

It's what you eat, too. Meat is more of a "one stop shop" for nutrients we need. You'll need several different plants to get the same range.

Persistant hunger can be caused by a deficiency of protein, which can boil down to a deficiency in essential amino acids (the ones that you cannot make yourself and therefore must get from food). Eat animal flesh and you'll probably get all of them in a form very easily absorbed by humans. Eat a form of vegetable matter and you'll be lucky to get half of them in a much less digestible format. So you will need to eat more protein than an omnivore, because you aren't actually going to get all of it, and you're going to need different amino acid chains from different vegetable sources.

You need to be more knowledgeable about nutrition than an omnivore.

Are you a lacto-ovo vegetarian or a full-on vegetarian? It's easier if you're lacto-ovo, because eggs and dairy products are nearly as good for protein as meat is. Soy milk is good, too, if you don't mind the taste.

You can do fine on a vegan diet, though, if you just know what foods to combine in your diet. "raw food" sites would be a good place to do research.

A random example...this man eats only raw vegan food. No animal food at all and no cooking at all.

Honestly mate, I'm not. I'm 5ft 10, have a slight belly, but I wouldn't call myself fat. Another half a stone and I'll have very little excess body fat on me.

Haha, if I tried to be mature, it would be like trying to meat : just won't happen. I'm incredibly immature, the reason I started this thread is because I was confused. But thank you for the compliment, good sir

The person you're replying to is right - your posts show more maturity than is to be expected from a 14 year old. If you are "incredibly immature", it doesn't come across in your posts, which are far too coherent to be seen that way.

Ok straight to I'm 14, small and skinny for my age ( around 145cm, and 5 stone in mass) but I have, what I believed to be a fat belly. I went to see the doctor, she said there wasn't much fat there, I just had to eat lots of fruit and veg to open my bowels and my belly would go down.

Now to my limited knowledge, some fruits take more energy to consume than they provide. But they also contain natural sugars so should not make you starve to death by lowering your blood sugar levels.

Despite this I eat loads and it doesn't help my hunger. Eg: last night I had an orange, an apple, 15 strawberries, a banna and yet I was still hungry. So I had a packet of crisps, and after that all was well. I am concerned because I also want to get rid of the little fat I do have around my abdomen.

Any advice/comments welcome
:D:D

Sounds like it may be a touch of IBS which causes bloating of the stomach ,you can't really cure it ,try avoiding foods that are hard to digest like sweetcorn ,peanuts etc ,drink plenty of water and avoid stress .Although with IBS you often feel bloated after meals and get flatulence.

Try eating some cheese on toast or cheese sandwich its more filling than fruit.

Pure orange juice 1 ltr can help you flush out .

If you want to gain good weight ,get some dumbbells do some press-ups,sit-ups ,go cycling .exercise can help many problems .

good luck and ignore the twits telling you to eat meat ;):D

I'm just expressing myself the way I normally would, if less maturity is to be shown by a 14 year old I guess it's an indication that some people in our society are going downhill, there is a girl at my school who said "The capital of africa is jamaica"! how did she pass the exam? but I digress
 
My sister was a vegetarian, then she did a BSc in Biology and an MSc in Nutrition. She gets offended by the idea of vegetarianism now.

I was 6'1" and 15 stone 10 lbs at 14.
 
There is one thing I can say to all of you who can't comprehend vegetarianism: More meat eaters and less veggies in the world contributes slightly to the rise in food prices we are and will continue to experience
 
At 14 I wouldn't do any weight training at all, being that pre pubesacant children won't be able to build muscles. Just do football, basketball, swimming, tennis and other active sports.
