That is crazy! I had no problem whatsoever gaining weight on a vegetarian diet. I gained 20 pounds in 2 months!
So please please please don't believe that its hard for vegetarians to gain weight. It may be hard for SOME vegetarians to gain weight but not all. And I am a hardgainer; I am very thin and I have high metabolism. Its totally possible!
@Rich
Tofumon (Tofu + Salmon)
Or
Halibofu (Halibut + Tofu)
Make great substitutes.
But seriously,

tofu, veggie replacements, nuts, seeds, legumes, beans, soy, you'll be fine. I'm not wasting away by anymeans!
