The China Study also argues that there are no nutrients in animal proteins that are better than plant-based proteins.

While vegetarian diets tend to be lower in calories and higher in fiber (which makes a person feel more full), some vegetarian diets can cause higher caloric intake than a meat diet if they include a lot of cheese and nuts.
