Vegetarianism, as a way of life, is not a weight-loss diet. Vegetarians may have a lower body mass index than meat eaters, but that doesn't mean they're in better health. Plant-based proteins and whole grains are staples in the vegetarian diet, as are fruits and vegetables, all of which are more filling, healthier options than animal-based proteins. However, the calorie count of a vegetarian diet isn't always easy to predict. Vegetarians can put on weight if they consume too many calorically dense foods, such as sugary drinks, fried foods, snack foods, and sweets, or if they eat too large of portions of these foods.
