Vegetarian recipes free of meat and fish but allowing dairy and eggs — easier to plan than fully plant-based, with strong protein density when eggs and dairy are used. Each recipe shows per-serving protein, calcium-rich ingredients, calories, carbs, fat, and total time. Use them to swap a meat dish without sacrificing protein or to build a fully meat-free week.

These vegetarian recipes are screened at ingredient level — gelatin, anchovy-based sauces, and animal rennet are filtered out, while dairy and eggs are kept as default protein anchors. Protein-per-serving is computed from real ingredient grams, not estimated from the dish name. Recipes that depend on a single high-protein component (a frittata, a cheese-heavy bake) are clearly tagged so you can balance the rest of the day.
