Hi! I have been vegan for about 6 months, and when I started I actually gained weight because I was worried about missing nutrients so I ate way too much, haha.
So I am trying to stick to a 1200/day calorie diet and I am looking for a vegan cookbook or recipes which are low calorie, and have the nutritional information. I am also going to be living at college so cheap and quick would be good too!
I just find that most vegan books say you will lose weight going vegan but don't give any calorie guides to the meals and they often have a lot of (healthy) oils and are often high in calories... I really want vegan recipes for people on a diet but I can't find any on google and I don't know of any good books. I also much prefer recipes based around beans and veggies I can make from scratch instead of soy meat substiutes and instant stuff.
Any help would be really appreciated!! :D
