Ari just make sure that if you do give up meat that you get enough iron, B12, and other important nutrients from alternative sources. There is a product for vegetarians called Red Star Nutritional Yeast that's supposed to be a vegetarian support formula.
Thanks Rubystars, I will jot that down in my bookmarks. Would I need to take that if I eat fish almost every day?
I think eating fish helps but be careful about the mercury other possible contaminants that could build up in your system and cause health problems. Fish itself is healthy but because of pollution often the water the fish is in isn't, espcially predator fish that eat other creatures that accumulate mercury, etc.
Here's some info about the product, I think it replaces some of the nutrients that are usually in beef:

This site sells it:
