Either is much lower in protein (less than half) than cow's milk, and most people find the taste quite acceptable, especially on breakfast cereal, milkshakes, and in cooking. Be sure to get the kinds that are fortified with calcium and vitamin D, it will then have close to the same nutrient profile as cow's milk. > I cheat a good deal, Tsk, tsk. > and find it difficult to > find good vegetarian recipes which aren't loaded with cheese. Any > suggestions for cookbooks? Actually, there are excellent vegetarian sites on the 'net, and I'm sorry I haven't bookmarked them. You can easily do a search, though, and get tons of excellent recipes for free. Also, the Moosewood series has just come out with a new low-fat book which has gotten excellent reviews. And Cooking Light magazine has wonderful recipes, too, though not necessarily vegetarian. Their website is: http://pathfinder.com/@@ZBiSTwUAv3s4iDuC/cl/ But one way to cheat is to eat a one-ounce serving of meat at a sitting, with large quantities of starches, vegetables, and fruits. This ups the ratio of carb to protein, which is mainly what your doc is getting at (I think).
