Any busy vegetarians out there losing weight?

I'm a pescatarian at the moment, and gained weight pretty fast as well once I started school again. These past two weeks I've made a huge change in my diet and have been feeling a lot better and losing weight easier. I'm a terrible chef and so everything I eat is very basic and usually only takes me minutes to make.
Some of my favourite meals are eggs (literally eggs with EVERYTHING), protein pancakes (eggs, banana, + protein powder), huge salads with some sort of protein (I like yyves selection of veggie meat), stir fry with tofu and eggplant pizza. I'll eat some cottage cheese, greek yogurt, or coconut oil with almost every meal and it helps me stay full.

When I have to go out somewhere, I'll usually bring a big bag of carrots and some fruit or make something fast like pancakes and put them in a container. Also home-made smoothies are awesome and packed with protein, and will keep you full for quite a long time. I find that as long as I'm eating lots of fibre and protein I can stay full and have lots of energy throughout the day.

Feel free to add me or look through my diary, it's open!

I just started out on this site, but in the past lost 60 pounds just keeping it healthy and not tracking anything. Right now its much harder, I am very busy, and my meal plans don't always work out. I am keeping gardein sliders in the freezers for emergencies, I freeze soup, and try to have 5 meals that I know always work. Last week I was super busy so I just threw a can on beans on some salad with pre cut veggies and store bought hummus. It wasn't the best thing I've ever eaten, but it was fine.

I am doing alot of the processed "meats" that I will eventually work back out when I have better habits but right now are okay.

This is my first week back and I lost 3 lbs so far just logging everything.

I'm a vegetarian with an open diary. I tend to do pretty boring, easy meals and snacks.

I tend to shoot for as much protein as possible in each meal (and i still usually don't hit my protein macro >.<), but my go-to meals are also eggs with everything (like poached on top of polenta and pesto. YUM), black beans + avocado + salsa + cheese salad (protein + fats and delicious), greek yogurt (I have 3 flavors in my fridge currently from trader joe's) and hummus with veggies. My diary is open, too, I think. Feel free to friend me too!

Since you stated pescatarian ... can of tuna or a can of sardines, grapefruit, banana, and a piece of cheddar cheese or container of milk is a very quick meal to make.

Busy vegan. I eat tons and tons of fruit (apples, oranges, and bananas are my staple) and almonds. When I don't have time to cook I eat PB2 with rice cakes. For snacks I have fruit, baby carrots & hummus, and more fruit. For breakfast I always have plain oatmeal with a dash of brown sugar and blackberries (I look forward to it every morning because I looooove blackberries).

When I have time to cook I like to really load up on the veggies, because despite my carrot sticks with hummus I don't get a ton of veggies in the morning or afternoon. I do, however, reaaaaally love the Fruit + Veggie Outlast Bars (they're like fruit bars, yummy and only 60 cals).

I lost over 180 pounds in about 13 months by going vegan. I'm down to a BMI of 23.7 and I'm probably done losing weight. I did not limit carbohydrates at all beyond avoiding processed grains like white bread and white rice, favoring whole grains.

I do not consider pescatarians to be vegetarians at all - I consider them to be omnivores. Would you consider someone who only eats chicken or only eats beef to be a vegetarian?

ehhhh mostly vegetarian (I do eat fish occasionally) but all of my work lunches are vegetarian. As were my school lunches last year. If you don't mind lugging around tupperware salads are a great option. Add beans, eggs or baked tofu for protein. Veggie sandwiches or wraps on whole pita with hummus, peppers, cucumbers etc. The brand Joseph's Pita has a lavash bread that is low 50 calories per serving, so 100 calories for the entire giant wrap. Kind of low on taste but you can add in delicious veggies and condiments for flavor. Raw veggies and hummus or greek yogurt are pretty portable snack options. My school had a couple of buildings with microwaves so I sometimes brought dinner leftovers (like bean chili) and heated it up in between class.

Hope this helps!

Im lazy as **** when it comes to cooking. I make a simple salad. Thr kind that has all the lettuce and carrots and junk. Then eat a lean cusine or bowl of beans or chili. Easy. Little prep.
