Do you drink enough water? How do you keep track of how much you're drinking? Determine how much water you want to drink each day, and put that amount in a large pitcher on your kitchen counter or keep it at desk so you can sip on it as the day goes by. If you want to, you could even add a few berries or a slice of lime to put some oomph in your drink.
A vegetarian diet can meet the nutrition needs of even the most active athlete even though they tend to have fewer calories per bite than a traditional meat diet. Plant sources of protein aren't quite as digestible as animal sources and iron isn't as easily absorbed but beans, lentils, soy products, tofu & protein powders can be added to help supplement a vegetairian diet.
