Veggie tiredness

[payaya]

Hey all my girlfriend is a veggie, she seems to be tired all the time. I guess this is caused by her not having a balanced intake right?

Lack of iron etc would be putting her down i guess. Whats some ways for a veggie to get more up and go without going down the meat route?

thanks

Lack of protein. If she doesn't eat meals with both carbs and protein, the carbs will make her sleepy.

so is there any way of getting protein into the system without eating meat?

She could eat nuts - they are high in protein, also soya and qourn meals are excellent and low in fat. Additionally, she could always take a protein supplement as well as an iron one
