    supplement protein with a good, low carb, protein powder. I guess the OP already knows which vegetables are advisable with her macros. I eat LCHF, doing this.

    My macros are set at: 25% carbs, 40% fat, 35% protein. Since I don't eat meat, this is hard to accomplish most days. Also, I'm looking to lower my carbs percentage to 20% and up my fat to 45% in hopes of seeing better results. I'm eating about 1600-1700 cals a day with moderate activity. Lots of fat to lose lol

    Why, to the bolded? Weight loss is created by a sustained calorie deficit and you can eat anything you like. Do you have any medical issues that limits your food choices? Being a vegetarian AND eating less to lose weight should set enough limitations on your diet - don't add to the difficulties.
