As for good proteins and favorable fats, I'm doing a better job of putting on lean muscle than I did when I ate meat. Rice and beans as a dietary base provides excellent proteins and olive oil is one of the most favorable fats out there. Eating whole grains is even better.
I don't do this for ethical or moral reasons, so I don't look down on meat eaters, but I do wonder sometimes why people seem so taken in with steak (although I know the answers, so no need to rehash them).
