Is a vegetarian diet healthy for a growing teenager?

My 15 year old son has been on a vegetarian diet for a little over a month now. He still eats dairy and eggs, but he has eliminated all meat including fish. He is on the thin side so he definitely shouldn't lose any weight. Is this a healthy diet for him at his age?Is a vegetarian diet healthy for a growing teenager?
Being a lacto-ovo vegetarian is very healthy as you are still getting plenty of good complete protein from your dairy products and eggs as well as vitamin B12. There is plenty of iron in vegetarian foods such as nuts, broccoli, spinach, beans, peas and lentils.Is a vegetarian diet healthy for a growing teenager?
Yes I'm a 16 year old girl and I've been a vegetarian for a little over a year now but I don't eat eggs and most dairy products, and I am healthy:]. last time I went to the docter for a check up I was completly healthy. you just have to make sure he's getting the right nutrients he needs and make sure he eats veggies, fruits, whole wheats, and beans and stufff. A vegetarian diet is wayyyy way way healthier than a meat eaters diet, he will be getting many benefits and be a lot healthier, and I'm not just saying this because I'm vegetiarian, it's proven, just look up information if you aren't 100% sure what he should be eating.



hope he stays vegetarian:]! goodluck
