I have to be honest I had the same experience (which is unfortunate).

I went vegetarian and borderline vegan for 2 years and I wound up feeling depressed and run down.

It could’ve been from other things too, it’s only anecdotal.

I started introducing some chicken and fish into my diet again and I felt better.

I now eat meat again, just conscious of how much I’m eating and try eat a bit less.

One thing I noticed is that with being a vegetarian, I found to eat properly is harder. I had to cook a lot more to find the protein and calories, it seems to be something which I could probably do correctly if I had more time for it.

Balanced diet is the way to go I think.

One of the things I hate about eating meat is the copious amounts of plastic it comes in. With fruit and vegetables I don’t need too worry as much as I don’t put it in plastic bags, it’s a shame that meat is sold in disposable plastic.
