i've been working out for 2 weeks now. im fine with the sleep change, buying supplements, spending so much time at the gym, and the soreness from working out. but whats been frustrating me the most is the diet. i'm used to eating sweets and pasta and almost no meat because of it's bleh taste. as strange as it sounds, it's getting to the point im very tempted to give up on it since i can't deal with eating so much meat every day for the rest of my life. your vegetarian diet looks significantly more appealing to me by replacing meats with shakes.
couple questions:
1.) would this vegetarian meal give me the same (or at least similar) results as the meat option? i saw that the 30$/14day plan was inferior and i wanna make sure the vegetarian plan is ok
2.) what can i replace the following with? i have a hard time tolerating them.

Meal 1 - 40g whey protein shake + 2 large servings of fruit + 1 cup of oatmeal w/ whole milk and handful of almonds
Meal 6 - 1 cup cottage cheese + almonds + cinnamon
i'm currently taking 20g casein shake + ground cinnamon for meal 6, which you suggested was a nice alternative. i'm fine with taking whole strawberry/chocolate/vanilla/banana whole milk, or would that have too much sugar? and i'm not sure what can replace almonds. more peanut butter? olive oil + eggs? cheese? whipped cream inside my shake?
3) can you give a similar protein-shake-heavy cutting diet? 190 lbs @ 5'10, but i can work out where to change quantities to hit the correct calorie count
