Meal Patterns for Vegetarians
Presented in the paper are three eating patterns for various types of vegetarians. Meal pattern no. 1 stresses the vitality of the replacement of the lack of vitamins and minerals associated with the strict vegan diet. Meal pattern no. 2 emphasizes the inclusion of foods to reduce the level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in the daily lacto-vegetarian diet. As well as that meal pattern no. 2 increases methionine and tryptophane in human blood. Meal pattern no. 3 intended for lacto-ovo-vegetarians is a balanced diet dominated by complex carbohydrates and an increased level of antioxidants in the diet.
