Vegetarians do not eat meat, poultry or fish. There are several levels of vegetarianism:

Veganism is a complete rejection of animal products.
-
Raw food diet - eating only raw foods.
-
Fruitarianism - eating fruits and nuts.
-
Frugivory - the diet consists only of fruits.
The basis of a vegetarian diet is a variety of plant foods: grains, legumes, vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds. This allows you to create a complete balanced menu.
The diet may include porridge (oatmeal, buckwheat), whole grain bread and pasta, vegetable salads and side dishes, legumes and vegetables, fruits and berries.
A vegetarian diet is varied and healthy. When properly formulated, it fully satisfies the body's nutritional needs.
