My wife and I have been slowly been moving towards a more vegetarian diet. Mostly for weight loss/health reasons but also to save money and to try to be a little “greener”. We tend to cook more Asian/South Asian veg dishes because they have full spices and flavors that actually taste good and don’t try to mask or trick you into eating vegetarian like so many western dishes.
I guess my ultimate goal would be to become a “facultative vegetarian”, not cooking/eating any meat at home (with the exception of the occasional fish dish) but still eating meat if we’re on vacation somewhere or we’re at someone’s house for dinner and that’s what they serve. We both still enjoy meat, plus I live in West Texas and have access to Ribeyes/BBQ that are a near religious experience.
So how do you do it? I enjoy the food and variety, but find myself getting hungry later at night and often end doing some midnight snacking. Usually something crappy and unhealthy . This happens even when we have plant proteins via tofu, beans/dal. What’s the deal?
