Dairy products and tree nuts both contain good proteins as do seeds (sunflower, sesame, etc.). Grains also contain some. It sounds like you need to learn more about foods and/or get some knowledgeable advice before you try to select your diet. Have you read vegweb.com or vegsource.com?

Eggwhite has almost no vitamins and actually depletes certain B vitamins. Learn more. Don't starve yourself.

I have a graduation party this Saturday, I have been working on the food cooking and freezing, but am now down to the last few days and wondering how much i actually need, we are having tacos and taco salads using tostido chips, for 200 people how many pounds of ground beef do I need to cook up, I have approximately 12 lbs already completed. I also am looking for advice on how much lettuce, cheese and onion to chop up or needed to buy at a whole sale club.

Thank you

Laura

06/20/06 		I have posted several recipes for large and small taco parties including the amounts for trimmings, try the TexMex page in big pots for a starter. If you have beans, you might get away with 40 pounds of ground meat - you can mix ground turkey for a leaner, meatier filling- otherwise for 200 people for 2 tacos apiece you will need 50-60 pounds.

You can also use the amounts on the baked potato bar page for guidance, interestingly enough, the toppings for 2 tacos and 1 stuffed baked potato are about the same.
