As a former meat-eater, You don't need lean meat to be healthy. In fact, with all the additives and processing, you're better off not eating it. There are substitue lists online for how to get the nutrients in meat from non-meat. Veg foods are typically lower in fat and calories than your standard meat portion, so you can lose weight with a veg diet.
Soy is great for iron. You can eat soy-meat (I love the hot dogs and boca burgers. They taste like meat, unlike garden burgers.) There are lot of conversion charts online so you can grind tofu-meat into your conventional meat recipe. You will NOT have an iron deficiency if you eat your soy.
The biggest traps in vegetarianism are "fake health foods," overdosing on bread products, and the evil corn starch. Read food labels, and you'll quickly spot the traps! Don't ever assume that anything is healthy just because it's organic or is marketed that way.
As for dried fruit? Wtf lol, most of us vegs don't touch the stuff. It's nasty.
