Previous discussion completed I posted the wrong responses thanks

Student 1:-ERIN M.-This chapter’s Nutrition in Practice it was discussed that researchers found vegetarians to be closer to a healthier body weight than meat eaters. One of the reasons this may be true is that a vegetarian diet can be generally lower in saturated fat. Consuming high amounts of saturated fats has many adverse side effects on the heart. Obesity can be found in some individuals who eat a vegetarian diet, especially in those who are consuming a high amount of fat. One of the best ways to monitor this is to make sure there is a variety of nutrients being consumed. If I were to switch to a vegetarian diet I would utilize either myplate, writing it down in a journal or a nutrition tracking app. If there is something missing or Im not eating enough, I would be able to see it in a tangible form. I also think the phrase eat the rainbow is very applicable to this. When I am preparing a meal I try to make sure there are always different colors to ensure I am getting a variety of nutrients.

Student 2:-BRITTNEY M.-Reading about Vegetarian Diets one of the health benefits is in relation to protein and by that I mean that is the diet may be generally low in saturated fat and are higher in fiber and rich in vitamins and minerals. Most vegetarians are healthier than non-vegetarians they have an advantage because of all the vitamins they consume. For parents who want their children to be vegan it can have some set backs because a child needs food to help support their growth over time. I personally won’t ever become a vegetarian because I enjoy burgers, pizza, and lasagna but all of this in moderation of course.
