Also, try beans - black beans, garbanzo beans, pinto beans are all good and work really well in most salads. Beans are high in protein and fiber, so they keep you full without lots of fat.
Quorn brand makes some really yummy chicken substitutes. You can usually find Quorn at co-ops or Whole Foods. The chick'n cutlets with gruyere (sp?) are to die for! Yum. Morningstar makes really yummy breakfast "sausages" and buffalo "wings" if you're craving meat-y things without the meat.
Good luck! (This is from Sophie's Mom's daughter) |
I second Quorn "chicken"! It is so yummy! I've heard many long time vegetarians can't eat it because it is so chicken like it grosses them out. It is the only fake chicken I like actually. The gruyere one is so good! A half of one on a hamburger bun with dijon is one of my favorite things.
