I now work at a mental health hospital and two of the guys have decided they want to be vegetarian. One we know is only doing it b/c he thinks he'll lose weight without having to do anything "extra", the other may have made a decision in truth and I want to offer him information in a way he'll be able to take in. My usual routes to give someone protein alternatives are gone as a) I don't know where the heck to get tempeh or seitan here, and b) the hospital likely won't spring for that, and c) the cook probably won't know how to cook it. So it follows that I'll have to up beans and legumes. However, when I said, "You can't just drop meat and be fine, you need to find an alternative for the protein, like beans," to which he gave WTF face. I finally figured out he probably thinks I mean baked beans. So I need a good, basic primer, to give him information, and easy recipes that will not tax the cook. I don't think it's going to happen.
