What are the best references dealing with vegetarian nutrition?  Specifically,
I would like to convert to a (mainly) vegetarian diet geared toward athletic
training.  I have a particular problem trying to add bulk, and I would like
to know how I should adjust my diet.

Also, what are the best cookbooks for people with little time to cook?

I have a whole list of cookbooks but it will have to wait until I have time to compile it. I will post my favorites later.

As for cooking for people who have little time to cook, the
following works well for me: I got myself a Seal-a-Meal. On
Saturday, I cook a big meal. I freeze some of the left-overs in
plastic bags. I leave some in the refridge for lunch during the
week. On Sunday I bake bread and a LARGE pot of soup.(lentil/
split pea or chile) I freeze this as well. During the week, when
I don't have time to cook. It takes me 15 to 30 minutes, with no
preperation to cook dinner. I just boil the frozen bags of food. 

	We tend to buy dry beans and rice in bulk( 50lb bags) so
our food bills are rather small. Our biggest cost is fruit juice
from the store.(well over half of our costs) We are working on
that one by getting a press to press our apples with.
