I can't stress this enough: learn how to cook tofu. I held off on being a vegetarian so long because I had a bad tofu experience, but I eat it 2-3 times a week now and I've grown to prefer over chicken. Fry it, braise it, bake it... there are a lot of options. Mushrooms are a similar story.

My diet is primarily: Rice, beans, tofu, mushrooms, and various greens. I've never really been a salad person, and even as a vegetarian that's still generally true.
