Looking for vegetable + soy recipes

tamarwe · April 2013

This weekend, I pretty much tried to stay under my desired calories and still gained weight (not to mention I walked 5 miles, which is more than I've ever done in recent years)...

Therefore, I think I need to rethink my eating habits: low carbs, no meat. (I'm not vegetarian, but meat doesn't seem to help me.)

Last week, I ate Tofurky Sausage Jambalaya (http://www.tofurky.com/recipes/recipe_details.asp?RecipeDataID=65) and saw the weight come off (I was down 4 lbs). I'm looking for similar recipes: filling, but veggie laden, something that I can make on Sunday and eat throughout the week.

Anyone have any ideas for me? Appreciate the help!

p.s. Any recipes with nutrition info would be awesome.

I eat vegetarian quite often, but I don't eat soy... I can recommend chana masala as a delicious chickpea curry... I like black bean burgers... they leave you lots of room for exciting toppings in your bun... I just love refried beans, I could eat them every day.

There are reasons not to eat too much soy... they phyto estrogen stuff.. you can take it or leave it, but I thought I would put it out there

you could also try just cutting the meat down a little... when I make stuff like jambalaya, I use less sausage than required - and I use turkey sausage... make sure it's full of beans and veggies.

I am a vegetarian and I usually do all of my cooking on Sunday's for the week. There are a few websites that I use for different recipes: http://ohsheglows.com/; http://www.yumuniverse.com/; and http://www.skinnytaste.com/. Skinny Taste has vegetarian and meat recipes.

As a vegetarian I occasionally eat Yves Meatless Ground in tacos and make a dish with organic, non-GMO tofu maybe once every month or two. I wouldn't recommend it becoming a regular thing because studies have shown that soy can mess with your hormones. You can find just as much satisfying protein in beans, lentils, nut butters and quinoa.

beans, lentils, split peas. + veggies
A veggie chili would be great for you -- very similar to a meaty chili.

You can make seitan with wheat gluten and soy sauce. It's a meat substitute, very, very high in protein and low carb.

thanks! Yeah, I'm not thinking of going overboard with soy. I take small doses. I'm thinking veggie+soy recipes and also just filling veggie+protein recipes. As long as there's protein

Oh, and can you all post links to good articles I should refer to? I'd love ones with calorie/nutrition info!
