according to many researches diets with
"low-fat diets rich in fish, lean protein, vegetables, fruits and beans" give longest life expectations. Okinawa, Mediterranian etc.
To OP:
I have been vegetarian for 15 years (for ethical reason), I'd recommend trying all different indian dishes. Bean dishes are simple (tacos/tortilla). Falafel is really good, you can probably buy those frozen. They go well with either pita bread of just rice. Cheese pizza is still tasty and unhealthy. Can't really help you with specific frozen foods since you are probably from US and I have no idea what is offered over there.
I don't know how serious you want to be? Personally I eat cheese, eggs and drink milk but make sure not eat any animal-based products which have killed animals (well, it is bit naive but it is fine). So I avoid anything with gelatin, don't really eat at thai-/other southeast-asian restaurants since many of their foods are done to chicken- or fish-based broth.
Check out what supplements you should take, many vegs don't have enough sources of Vitamin D. Although being vegetarian makes life bit annoying occasionally, it also makes me happier as I don't have to question or regret my decisions.
