I would also like to know this too. I've only just started logging my food and this week have been following vegan fitness models free meal plan but I keep going way over my carb allowance.

I went from vegetarian to vegan last fall and I felt that I wasn't quite getting it right so I met with a nutritionist. She quickly pointed out that I was getting too many calories from carbs and not enough from protein. She suggested I add more protein and also eat more earlier in the day. I now add protein powder to my yogurt and also sometimes have a vegan protein drink. My snacks are almonds or toasted chickpeas; no more popcorn! I also eat hummus often, and tofu. One great option I've found is edamame pasta. It's very high protein and low carb. I'm starting to lose the weight I put on through inadvertent carb loading. Would love other low carb/high protein ideas.

We need carbs guys. They give us energy. The best plant based diets are high carb low fat.

I think the best plant-based diet is the one that an individual enjoys and allows them to meet their nutritional needs. For some people, that will be high carbohydrate/low fat. For others, it may be lower in carbohydrates. And for people like me, who feel terrible and low energy on a low fat diet, it will be higher fat.
