I have been trying to keep an excel sheet of what i eat. However i think i’m going to try and babble about my thoughts on diet, so that i can be more clear and get some feedback. In addition to my diet i’m also trying help my dad (who is obese) to figure a better diet.

So, things which are deficient in Vegetarian diet are Protein, Calcium, Vitramin B12, Iron and Zinc.

Few initial general tips:
