Adding meat to my diet
Because of various medical and diet issues, I think I am going to have to start adding meat and fish to my diet. I’ve only ever eaten meat once at uni (I’m UK based).
How can I start introducing small bits of meat to my diet? Everything seems to be full of preservatives. Ideally I need to focus on iron and protein. Everyone else in the house is veggie. Lots of allergies in my house too - so usually I make a picky bits dinner/ would like something that I can add meat too as opposed to meat being the centre.
Please be kind - I’ve never been a fake meat person, so I’m worried about the texture too. Any ideas for non-UPF things I can introduce. I shop at Ocado and Lidl mostly.
ETA: I already know the vegetarian sources of iron and protein. I am Asian so have grown up eating a balanced, solely vegetarian- based diet. My medical state has changed meaning I need to adapt my diet. Thank you
Edit 2: Thank you for all your suggestions and kindness. It feels really overwhelming (which is probably funny to many people as they probably feel the same way about going veggie), but you’ve all provided so much useful info about keeping my diet UPF free to minimal!
