Here are a few books that came to mind that do feature veggie-loving protagonists:The Princess Diaries series by Meg Cabot — Mia is a vegetarian princess who often crusades for animal rights (although she does give in to carnivorous urges upon occasion).
Vegan Virgin Valentine by Carolyn Mackler — well, the title speaks for itself! She's recently turned vegan (partly for reasons involving a guy) and dreams of grilled cheese sandwiches.
Truth or Dairy by Catherine Clark — I read this one years ago and don't remember it very well, but the main character is, according to the Goodreads description, a "would-be vegetarian." Do you guys have any more recommendations? I'd love to find some more books with main characters who are vegetarians or vegans; on a personal level it makes them just that much more relatable for me.
