    Is there anyone out there with a decent meal plan for a vegan diet?

    Hey there,
    I am not a strict vegan but enjoy eating a lot of vegan foods. It is quite tricky to keep carbs low as a lot of vegan protein is really carby – beans, lentils and wholegrains. Alas, tofu and quorn will become your allies. And, nuts course. Loads of veg too- green especially.

    Some of the vegan meals that I eat are-
    Breakfast-
    Chia pudding with almond milk
    Scrambled tofu and greens/mushrooms/tomatoes
    Homemade nut granola, soy yoghurt and blueberries
    Chickpea flour wraps and avocado

    Lunch and Dinner-
    Quorn mince tacos on lettuce wraps
    Quorn Bolognese on courgette noodles
    Soups
    Tofu cauliflower rice
    Shirataki noodle stirfry
    Roasted Mediterranean veggie salad
    Cauliflower rice risotto
    Baked celeriac chips

    Hope this helps a little. It is very doable. I basically replace any carb with some form of distorted vegetable and any protein with tofu or quorn. I try to limit nuts as I can get a little carried away.

    Thanks very much for your kind and useful reply. I have only recently returned to veganism after falling off the wagon when my two grown up ( very carnivorous) sons moved back home. I have noticed that there are so many new products out there so much better than before. Your meal ideas sound great, I am a bit lazy and end up eating a lot of brown rice, peas and nuts and variations of this combo!
    Cheers!
