This is how I typically eat:
Breakfast- Greek yogurt, granola bars, cereal with milk, sandwich, dinner leftovers, fruit, cottage cheese (about 200-300 calories)
Lunch- sandwich, salad, or dinner leftovers (about 300-500 calories)
Dinner- something different every night of the month. (about 500-600 calories) I have soup once a week usually.
Snacks- things like fruit, chips, popcorn, pretzels, chocolate, cookies, granola bar, carrots, celery, broccoli, trail mix, deviled eggs, pickles, cottage cheese (about 100-300 calories)
I post recipes and my monthly meal plan on my blog. I'm not vegetarian but did meatless dinners in May. https://lounmoun.wordpress.com/2016/04/27/meal-planning-meatless-may/

I find food ideas on Pinterest a lot.

I'm going through the same thing you are right now. I want to eat more veggies and fruit and less what I was. I like how healthy veganism is but it's hard to follow sometimes.

Here's what I'm doing that can help you too.

First I am doing something called the DASH diet (not a diet). It is very easy to follow and you will eat lots of veggies and fruit. (I don't pay attention to the sodium restriction, which makes this diet very easy)

Check out this site for more info: Everything You Need to Know About the DASH Diet

I have been doing this for a week and feel wonderful, way better then when I was eating alot of processed foods and snacks.
