I told both her and her mom that if she didn't find a really good alternative source of protein, it wasn't going to work, especially for soccer.

Now, she is taking at least a year off soccer . . . Along the way, I think she probably gained 20lbs.
This is the problem, she probably lived off carbs like cereal/bagels/potato chips/french fries. That's a recipe for inflammation and weight gain. Those foods are also very high in calories.

Pescatarian is a great option, but you've just got to get enough healthy fats in there and less shitty carbs. It takes some work but you can definitely be healthy on this type of diet.
