  • You should ask a dietician, not us.
  • There are many other vegetarians; this seems like it should be a solved problem.

I disagree about asking a dietician and not LW.

Can you expand on your reasoning?

A dietician can get licensed with just a bachelor's degree in nutrition. A well-informed layman will often have more informed views on the issue. Also, communities like this will select against bad information. However, a fitness forum that also has a commitment to rejecting errors will have even better answers as they will specialize in this area.
