This is false.  While it is shown from research that the people who follow a vegetarian die eat less calories and fat than non-vegetarians, it’s not universally true.  Vegetarians probably eat less calories and fat because they are simply more aware and alert of what they are eating.

As with non-vegetarians, those that choose to take food coming from animals out of their diets make bad eating decisions.  This can conist of eating large amounts of high-calories, high-fat foods.  Additionally, they can consume foods with little or no value.  When you don’t have animals in your diet, there are many nutrients that you would need to supplement:

- iron
- vitamin D
- vitamin B12
- zinc
- protein
- calcium
