    The following are healthy meal ideas for lacto-ovo vegetarians (eat both dairy and eggs):
    • Vegetarian omelet -- Make with lightly sautéed spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions or other veggies of your choice and some melted cheese on top.
    • Vegetable lasagna -- Make with low-fat ricotta cheese. You can pack this dish with lots of vegetables like squash, mushrooms, onions, peppers, and broccoli. Top with marinara sauce. (Note that most lasagna recipes include eggs. Also, there are some vegan lasagna recipes that use tofu in place of ricotta cheese.)
    • Eggplant parmesan -- Serve with marinara sauce and a small amount of whole-grain pasta. (Note that most eggplant parmesan recipes include eggs.)
    • Egg salad sandwich -- Make with light mayo and serve on whole wheat toast.
