It is possible to eat healthy and balanced if you follow vegetarian diets. In fact, the vegetarian food guide proposes to eat Whole Grain products such as wheat, corn, bread, pasta, etc. It is important to choose whole grain or whole wheat products, Legumes (beans, tofu, soy), Vegetables and Fruits, Nuts and Seeds, Vegetable Oils, low-fat Dairy Products, Eggs, and sometimes, Sweets.
