    My favourite thing to remember for plant based food is that grain + bean = complete protein. I have some sort of bean or lentil based soup with some rice for my weekday lunches, it usually comes in about 300 kcals, but it's a small portion so a larger portion would come in closer to 500. You could try some retried or black beans with rice and salad and some cheese or sour cream and avocado, that would hit the around 700 mark I would think.

    I have a diary open to friends and eat a mostly veggie diet (I do eat some fish) so feel free to add me if you like!

    also I am a plant based eater... aka vegan.. so you can follow my diary. I am starting to stick to eating a whole foods plant based diet now. Every now and then I will indulge in junk like plant based burgers, cheeses, sausages and what not.

    Hoe do you get all your protein without the vegan junk? I'm on 1280 calls and just take the linda McCartney sausages for extra proteine.

    Tofu, seitan, tempeh, soy curls, edamame are all great sources of protein.

    Also, unless you're running, sick, pregnant, or under any other guidance you may not need as much protein as you think. I routinely only get around 40-50 grams despite my goal being higher and I feel great. I make up for that in fat ( good fats from plant sources! ) so keep that in mind.
