Also, scrambled tofu is IDENTICAL in taste to scrambled eggs, and if you use tumeric then it is even the same color. The So Delicious brand of products has a vegan yogurt that is amazing.

It is good in stir-frys as well as any type of stew that you make (the longer it gets to be marinated/cooking in the juices of what you're making, the better it will be). Some favorites include mulligatawny stew and stir-fried with vegetables in curry sauce. Quinoa is also a great source of protein and, IMO, tastier than rice. My best friend recently went through a vegan prenancy where she also had gestational diabetes and couldn't have any processed carbs AT ALL because it made her so violently ill. She has a great blog with lots of recipes: http://thepalatialpalate.blogspot.com/ Seitan/processed wheat gluton is my favorite meat substitute.

Though honestly I like veggies and salads and pasta so it's not a huge deal for me. I also like quorn and have that with potatoes or something for a change, or a wrap of some kind. Usually though I eat like this Monday - Friday. Then at the weekend for dinners we'll eat out or something, usually Indian, chinese or souplantation. I do LOVE indian food though so that keeps me on track cos the stuff I like is quite fattening (shahi paneer) Mac I generally eat that Mon-Fri then at the weekend I go on my ‘cheat’ days.
