What to eat- veggie diet

[Jingers5]

Anyone have any ideas on what to eat.Im vegetarian and need to lose about 10 pounds. I'm not into mushrooms, eggs or goats cheese.

Would appreciate some help

I’m guessing you’re looking for low carb suggestions? Do you like tofu? Also hallomi or paneer cheese are good for protein based main meals.

Yes low carbs. Any diets l have seen are eggs for breakfast, fish for lunch/dinner which l don't eat.

I'm looking for a diet that l can follow.

eat loads of vegetables.

Low carb is harder if you’re veggie, especially without eggs, so needs a bit more planning . I would be tempted to go for porridge for breakfast and then no carbs the rest of the day. Snack on nuts: cottage cheese / hummus/ carrot sticks/ veggie sausages. I quite like the veggie bacon rashers- maybe with fried onion and tomato as a breakfast option? Don’t let yourself get hungry is the key.

Cathpot, thank you. It's very hard as l seem to be always hungry. Will try the veggie rashers

What you need to do is to get a veg box/load of veg every week.

And then eat the veg. Raw, cooked, whatever. Just start eating it.

Veggie rashers are not going to help you lose weight.

For breakfast I have mashed avocado on a protein bagel or wholegrain bread with sliced tomatoes. I get the bags of frozen avocado from Waitrose or Tesco and weigh out 60g. I find I'm less hungry during the day if I start the day with protein.

I eat at least 2 or 3 pieces of fruit a day - banana mid morning.

Lunchtime at work I usually have the Tesco feta and tomato pasta or the mozzarella and basil pasta salad. Dinner I sometimes have lentil penne with mixed vegetables or a Tesco salad with added grated cheese. I stick to exactly 1200 calories and lose 1-2lbs a week depending on how much exercise I get.

Thanks guys. Going to do some meal planning as eating on the go(mainly carbs).

You might find Rose Elliott’s books helpful. I think some of her recipes are low carb.
