    Are the meat substitutes (tofu, tofurkey, veggie ground round etc) acceptable for this diet?

    These aren't considered plant based but they are vegetarian/vegan.

    Someone following a plant based diet avoids processed foods, oils, most mock meats - tofu, tempeh and seitan are less processed and acceptable.

    I've been vegetarian for over 18 years, vegan for 3 and have never had an issue with protein. In fact, I get more as a vegan than I ever did eating meat.

    Plenty of plant based foods are packed with protein such as lentils, beans, tofu, tempeh, etc.
