My veggie-friendly friends have finally talked me, a meat-loving carnivore into going "green". Unfortunately I'm still in eighth grade, and restricted to a school menu. Any help with food ideas?
BTW, about the whole "Your still growing" thing, I haven't grown at all since the sixth grade..;(
Answer
I have been there! I went vegan when I was 12 and it was tough for me, but I managed to eat well at school.
Some ideas:
-bean salads (good beans to use are garbanzos/chickpeas, black beans, and black-eyed beans)
-mock "sloppy joe" sandwiches (use Morningstar brand crumbles in place of beef in any recipe or use on of these recipes: http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=9635.0 and http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=15762.0)
-pasta salad
-sandwiches with marinated roasted tofu (available pre-made from Whole Foods and Trader Joes, or look for recipes online)
-vegetarian "meatloaf" (lots of recipes are available online
-baked potato with fixin's or "potato angels" (http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=32280.0)
-fruit, yogurt, and granola combo with a hearty muffin (e.g. banana or carrot or bran muffin...there are loads of recipes online)
-hummus with tortilla chips, veggies, or pita chips
-sandwiches with vegetarian "lunchmeat"
-vegetarian chili (with cornbread if you want)
-calzones
-waldorf salad
There are lots of websites with more ideas, too...see sources below

Tips on a vegetarian diet for a week?

My doc said this would be good for me. I just wanna know the food that i should eat. Thanks.
Answer
Well, it can be very simple, especially if you are just vegetarian and not vegan. In your frozen foods section you will find morningstar farms products, which are especially good, and also boca....
You can get the morningstar farms "grillers recipe crumbles" which is a vegan substitute for ground beef. I use this to make tacos, and spaghetti with "no-meat" sauce.
Since it's spring time and grilling season is here (where I live anyway), you can do grilled veggie- kabobs....You can eat rennet-free cheeses (sargento is animal rennet free, except their harder cheeses (parmesan, asiago, and provolone, etc))
Make some fab salads, or blackbean burgers (can of beans, some crackers and an egg or so, you make it sorta like a typical meatloaf and then form patties for the grill).
Good Luck, and when in doubt, check out some v&v recipe boards or vegetariantimes.com
