    I'm a vegetarian and about 70 - 80% vegan normally. Currently in maintenance as I've been on the road for 3 months. I logon daily... but alas no food log.

    If I am doing a really long, hard hike I will take an almond butter and honey or jelly sandwich. I noticed overseas they tend to eat "salad sandwiches" which is bread and condiments with salad ingredients.

    Some of my favorite sandwich components: Hummus, baked tofu/tempeh, seitan, chickpea salad, portobello mushrooms, almond/peanut/cashew butter, BBQ jackfruit, and nut pate.

    Thanks everyone for your replies on sandwich ideas for lunch. I will definitely try them. I need a change from rice, beans, & vegs.

    Same. I'm still trying to find a substitution for 50 grams of protein a day (AKA chicken right now). I'd make the switch right now if anyone could help a bit.

    I absolutely love avocado salad sandwiches.. or on toast.. but to be fair I try to avoid bread as much as I can as it bloats me!!

    And thanks for all your lovely replies too!! I've been vegan for a year, and I can honestly say I don't miss dairy or eggs at all now!!
    I used to eat a lot of dairy.. but alpro is an amazing brand ( in my opinion) I absolutely love the yogurts and ice cream!!
    I found a lovely vegan cheese from Tesco, which is my new favourite..

    How many calories are the chicken portions you're trying to replace? Is 50g protein in addition to other protein sources in your diet, or your total goal for the day? Is there a calorie limit you're staying under?

    Offhand, without proper research, 400g of tofu (450-ish calories?) would be 50g protein, but that would be a lot of tofu a day. I personally prefer to reach my own protein goal per day (63-93g) with a mix of sources, because I think it's safer from a nutritional point of view.

    I'm a vegan - and I'm so much happier but I do admit sometimes I struggle to eat enough calories. I mean huge veggie soups and currys (it's winter here in Australia!) don't have that much in them and there is a limit to how much bread, pasta and rice one can eat during a day... happy to gain new friends if anyone is looking :)

    All of this. Also load the sandwich with veggies. My go to is protein mixed with a cup or two of mixed vegetables and whatever sauce I'm in the mood for.
