Food for a Vegetarian...?

[Lily]

I've been a Vege ever since i can remember. I don't eat meat because i don't like the TASTE. I'm not sure if fish is considered as meat but i don't eat it either.

Just lately i've been noticing i don't eat very substancial meals. My mum wishes i eat normally because she doesn't like spending extra money on food. I know i need to eat SOMETHING but when i get into the shopping centre i don't know where to start !

I basically live off rice & pasta. Raw veggies and fruit. I've asked people about what else i can eat but all they can say is "salad?" I cannot express how sick i am of salad. I'm not a rabbit !

So, any ideas?

Ps: As i don't like the taste of meat, I'm not interested in Vegetarian Sausages. Or anything that is basically designed for people that like meat but can't/aren't eating it. Vegetarian food that looks like meat or is in the shape of meat.
Note: Even the thought of eating meat makes me wanna chuck.
