Potatoes are wicked. Also lentils & beans.
If I want pasta, there's this brand I buy made from black beans that has great macros. 56g uncooked = 215 cal, 25g protein, 23g carbs (12g fiber), 2g fat

I hear a lot about zucchini noodles and shirataki noodles, but after trying a bunch I've settled on bean noodles as my favorite pasta replacement: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B071FS2TW5/
These were the only thing that made me feel like I was actually eating pasta. Everything else fell so far short that I'd just skip all my pasta favorites entirely.

I use an app called LoseIt to track calories. I have a food scale, but part of using it is just to teach myself to accurately eyeball quantities— ie, once I’ve put 2oz of pasta in a bowl on a scale 30 times, I can probably guess.
Been vegetarian for 18 years (seeing PETA videos as a kid will fuck you up!) and I’m pretty light on the dairy, too. Trying to keep my protein intake super high while I drop weight so I’ve been supplementing with a couple whey protein shakes a day.
Oh!!! The thing that has made IF possible: edamame spaghetti. It’s part of my meal most of my OMAD days, macros on it are unreal. Link— https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H4LBM54/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_e-PxDbSEMRKMK
Gas is about $2.15/gal right now. At 30 mi/gal, that's $0.07/mi. (OP is in Europe, so the cost is significantly higher.)
A Big Mac meal has about 930 calories and costs about $5.69. Assuming 40 calories per mile (YMMV, literally), that's enough fuel for 23.25 miles or $0.24/mile.
On the other hand, pasta costs $2.42 for 3200 calories, which comes to $0.03/mile. So it really depends on what you use for fuel.
On the third hand (can I have three hands?), if you're trying to lose weight, then the fuel you're burning is basically free. (Well, more accurately, you've already eaten that cost a long time ago).
And on the fourth hand (bodies are symmetrical, after all), eating expensive fuel is a lot more pleasurable than filling up your gas tank. I don't mind paying a premium for being able to eat whatever I desire, even if it costs a bit more.
Ingredients
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
1/4 cup lime juice
3 tablespoons PB2
1.5 tablespoons warm water
2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
4 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon Thai fish sauce
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 package FiberGourmet spaghetti
1 English cucumber, thinly sliced
1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 cup carrots, thinly sliced
(plus whatever other vegetables you want in there: snow peas, broccoli, bean sprouts, etc.)
1 bunch cilantro, coarsely chopped
*Toasted sesame seeds as garnish (if you're feeling fancy)
****
Combine the chicken, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, lime juice and 1 clove of crushed garlic in a bowl and let stand a few minutes to marinate. Coat a nonstick pan with a bit of vegetable oil spray and pan fry until just cooked through. Reserve on the side.
To make the sauce, combine the PB2 and warm water in a large bowl until it reaches a peanut butter consistency (may require more/less water). Once mixed, add ginger, garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, fish sauce, red pepper flakes and salt. Whisk to combine and taste to make sure it's tasty.
Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in large pot of boiling salted water until tender. Rinse under cold water until cool, then drain really thoroughly and transfer to bowl with sauce. Toss to coat the noodles and let stand at room temperature until noodles have absorbed dressing, tossing occasionally, about 1 hour or more if you have the time. Stir in the chicken, vegetables and cilantro and toss again. Season with sesame seeds. This was delicious at room temperature, but turns it's even better cold the next day, (as I discovered eating the leftovers for lunch today).
The original recipe can be found here
Fellow celiac here! I have a horrible selection for grocery stores, so I buy a lot of things off of Amazon a case at a time. It is way cheaper than I can find anywhere this way. Stop buying the Udi's muffins. Honestly, they taste like crap and you can make ones that are soooo much better! I like to do a lot of baking mixes so I don't have to guess on what ratios of flours to use. Anyways, here are a few of my favorites:
If you get adventurous and want to try baking your items with a flour substitute, Cup4cup or Better Batter are both great. I've used them both as replacements of regular flour in things I've made and turned out very similar to using regular flour. I also make my own chicken fingers using the GF Bisquick (there is a GF chicken finger recipe on the box). We also eat a lot of rice and quinoa.
Eat a box of pasta with a protein source like tofu, setain, or a bean. Also there's now these soy/black bean/edamame pastas I'll link below that have stupid amounts of protein in them. Trust me my friend gaining weight as a vegan is extremely easy. Stick to your grains, bean,and gluten sources like breads and pasta.

Heart of palm carbonara
1 can of either pastability or palmini noodles
(1 can is 6g net carbs and 90 calories total I’ve used both and they taste the same. Pastability is significantly cheaper)
About 2-3oz panchetta
Garlic(optional)
2 eggs
Your favorite hard Italian cheese (parm reggiano) grated about a hand full of the stuff.
Black pepper
Salt to taste
Italian parsley to garnish
Drain your heart of palms and place into a pot with a bit of salt and bring to a boil for 3-5mins
In a bowl whisk both eggs, pepper, and cheese. Set aside.
In a pan cook your panchetta and chopped garlic(optional) till browned and fat is rendered. Remove excess fat from pan.
While noodles are still hot drain them and mix with the panchetta. Take pan off the heat and pour in egg cheese sauce and mix till super creamy. Garnish with a bit of chopped parsley and add salt to taste. I happen to have some truffle infused sea salt that really made the dish pop.
Total dish is about 7-8g net carbs counting eggs, garlic, and pepper.
heart of palm noodles - I like them for Italian pasta dishes. The texture of shirataki noodles are more suited to Asian stir frys and soups in my opinion.
I love this stuff -- my local costco in san francisco has it. This is the product: https://www.amazon.com/Organic-Edamame-Spaghetti-lbs-907g/dp/B00TCUM7X2
I find that half a serving is plenty (100 calories, 5 net carbs), and I like to serve it with meatballs and parmesan and good olive oil. It would also be great with pesto.
With edamame spaghetti for italian food and shirataki noodles for asian food, I never even wish I could eat normal noodles.
You’re all still using rubbertaki noodles?! Really, you need to get with the times and use these! You’ll thank me later...
No more spongy rubber noodles!
Just a quick search on it, carbs look a bit too high for these, 10 net carbs per serving.

> I'm a girl and too much estrogen can be harmful
Sure. But soy contains phytoestrogen, which is an agonist/antagonist of estrogen. Though research is still unclear about the pros and cons about phytoestrogens, it has been shown to inhibit estrogen-dependent cancers. And Asian populations, where soy is a staple, have historically had lower rates of cardiovascular disease, menopausal symptoms, breast cancer (and other hormone dependent cancers), diabetes and obesity than Western populations. I don't think there are any reasons to be more afraid of soy than say, the arsenic content in your rice.
>being vegan is expensive + organic = even more expensive.
I actually don't think a plant-based diet needs to be more expensive. But the trade-off is to spend more time in the kitchen and that might be impractical for most people.
>personal ninja blender and a juicer
Not familiar with that brand, but if it is a blender that is really powerful, so you can blend cashews, for example, into a very smooth paste, then that is the No. 1 kitchen appliance for a vegan! A food processor would save time chopping, but it might be unnecessary unless you meal prep a lot. I think a juicer is great to get those micronutrients in an easy and fast way. I don't have one, but thinking of getting one.
>i also mentioned i don't own a microwave, so would that get in the way of meal-prepping?
I love my microwave. Heating leftovers is just one of its uses. I use it often to cook potatoes, carrots, vegetables, defrost and roast cashew nuts (1,5min without oil, it's great). The microwave also retain micronutrients more efficiently than frying or baking. I don't think it would get in the way of meal-prepping, but it makes life a bit easier, for sure.
I think you would like Mary's test kitchen. Not always always healthy, but a good balance of practical, easy, healthy and not so healthy recipes. (A very realistic vegan diet.) Most are also budget friendly.
Vegan sauces
Cultured cashew cheese
Vegan nacho cheese
Instead of gluten-free pasta, consider bean pasta?

(Amazon link here but cheaper at Costco, I believe it's around $9.79 for the 2 lb. box)
At my last summer job, we had these noodles that have 20g of protin each, they also have black, green and red bean ones.
Here are the amazon links: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004NSG8F6/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_GDTQwbMKKPH19 and https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TCUM7X2/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_PHTQwbRBZAW2N. Looks like the black bean one is less here
1 - I have tried to start doing more lateral hip exercises over the last few weeks. But, it hasnt been anything spectacular. Honestly, I took the route of throwing in just a few exercises to get into a routine. Then, when it becomes part of my daily cycle, I will add in some more things. I used to do a 5 min plank exercise. Should probably throw that back in.
2 - I dont. Ive never considered doing it. I like bodyweight things. I built a pullup bar out of some lumber / a metal rod. That was fun to use. I feel like pullups are unreal body weight exercises.
3 - I think core is interesting. I read that the kenyans do nothing. And, I am curious how that works. I believe the theory was that they run on dirt roads / such varied terrain that they dont need to do core, etc.
Non Weight Training:
I recently just found edamame pasta at costco (buy it at costco, not on amazon). HOLY PROTEIN. It actually is fantastic. Lady friend and I ate that the last two nights with some bell peppers / cheese. HIGHLY recommend.

Thanks for the feedback! We're available in most major retail stores across Canada and you can find the stores nearest you that carry our product with our store locator. In Toronto, we're available in Walmart, Loblaws, Metro, Sobeys, and more. We're also available on Amazon.ca and our NuPasta Canada website.
Regarding inventory, that's something we'll definitely take note of and relay to our distributor so we can work on being better stocked in stores in the future.
most food is gluten free. The thing is that the USA (probably other predominantly English speaking places too?) has been so heavily brainwashed into thinking you need wheat everyday (maybe it was the food pyramid/lobbying?). While my family eats normal bread daily, i've been able to manage to stay healthy due to making slight adjustments to the kitchen. I've got my own peanut butter and nutella to avoid contamination. we are Mexican, so a lot of food is already gluten free. It's mostly a matter of learning what brands to avoid cause some have sneaky gluten. See if you can get your family to be more curious about trying foods from other cultures too. maybe they can get excited about it too and suggest recipes they themselves run into on the internet.
this is the pasta i get. i find it at walmart and food4less: https://www.amazon.com/Tinkyada-Brown-Pasta-Spaghetti-Ounce/dp/B000FK63IS
these tortillas are the closest in taste and texture to brown wheat tortillas (they smell different when they are cold tho, so just heat them up and they are good. i only have seen them on amazon tho): https://www.amazon.com/Tortilla-Factory-Gluten-Ivory-Wraps/dp/B00AZM3WU8/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=gluten+free+tortillas&qid=1568654987&s=grocery&sr=1-6
​
good luck. stick with it and i promise it gets easier
I buy it in the organic section of the grocer here. (Ont, Canada) Amazon has it too. I'm not sure what other countries they sell it in, but I imagine there must be other brands too.
This is the type I get:
https://www.amazon.ca/NuPasta-Assorted-Konjac-Pasta-210g/dp/B078HKTHS1/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1538795048&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=nupasta&dpPl=1&dpID=41nE%2Bc3aX9L&ref=plSrch&th=1&psc=1
Here is a link to them on Amazon. They are made from shirataki which smells like formaldehyde unless you rinse them well and cook them. Then they take on the tase of whatever you pair them with. Worth a try but they are a lot more expensive then a zucchini costs.

I ran game across some ready made dry pasta by chance at a discount store. But here is a similar one: https://www.amazon.com/Only-Bean-Organic-Spaghetti-Noodles/dp/B079B8CG9F/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?keywords=black+bean+spaghetti&qid=1573060275&sprefix=blackbean+sp&sr=8-5#aw-udpv3-customer-reviews_feature_div
Nutrition value seems to be the same. For sauce I typically use a canned one and then add fresh garlic and basil and I topped with some steamed carrots
https://www.amazon.com/Organic-Edamame-Spaghetti-lbs-907g/dp/B00TCUM7X2
Is pretty good - esp with alfredo sauce
I believe that I bought these at Sam's club (maybe Costco) for around 10 dollars. They have the same item on Amazon, but it's inexplicably 2 and a half times more expensive.
As for the taste and texture, it has a very mild flavor and is close to al dente pasta. It's the best replacement for noodles that I've found. They cook up in 5 minutes and have a ridiculous amount of protein.
Buy macro friendly food items. Example, I found protein water at Sam's club: 60cals, 0g F, 1g C, 15g P- and they're tasty! There's also edemame spaghetti, I've been ordering it off Amazon for years, 180cals, 3g F, 20g C, 24g P.

I couldn't handle the fishy smell. Anyone that had the same aversion should check these out. They also have a rice version.
I bought a couple of boxes of Edamame noodles at Costco in Phoenix a couple of months ago, haven't tried them out yet!

I looooooooove these palmini noodles. They’re expensive but worth every penny. They’re a little tangier than real pasta (made from hearts of palm) but they hold up really well unlike other veggie pastas. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0711R3XS4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_4gWJAbFM890CN
I just ordered these from Amazon. They should arrive later today. Black soy bean noodles. 7 Net Carbs per serving.
Though I’ve found other ways to prepare the miracle noodles to (supposedly) make them taste better so I’ll be trying those again in the near future.
And these are on my wishlist for next time. Mung bean noodles. 5 Net Carbs per serving.
Here are some substitutes:
Edamame Spaghetti
Cauliflower Fried Rice
Alcohol
Ok then you need 3.8g protein per 100 calories. If I were you, I’d opt for a few high protein meals. Maybe a breakfast of oats (6 grams protein for 160 cals), then a snack of pea/pumpkin protein blended with soy milk will get you close to 30g protein for 200 calories. A lunch of edamame spaghetti is 24g protein for 200 calories. You can use the rest of your 750 calories on Oreos if you want.
I like this:

It’s an Amazon link, but I usually buy it at my local grocery store or in bulk at Costco.
Look into this stuff. Mostly protein and lots of fiber. Yea, the texture and taste isn't spot on to wheat pasta, but I like it and think it's worth giving a shot. There's soybean, edamame and black bean variations.
I think all ancient harvest are quinoa and corn. I've had good luck with them
Do not despair. I just had these for dinner.... And they are AMAZING. I use them in every way I would noodles and they are delicious, chewy and noodley satisfying goodness.

I tried these edamame noodles. They are ok. The texture is nowhere close to regular pasta. I prefer using spiralizer zucchini but keep these around for when I'm lazy.

I like banza pasta, or Amazon AND Costco sell this edamame pasta. Bulk up with veggies, you can have a 400 cal dinner that is phenomenal
I recently found edamame pasta which steps up the protein and fiber from the Banza pasta.

I've has this before. It is called melasma, and if appears sudden, it is usually due to a hormonal change and/or unprotected exposure to UV rays. Medications such as oral contraceptive pills, estrogen therapies and anti-seizure meds like phenytoin or body changes (pregnancy, thyroid fluctuations) can be the culprits.
I developed these suddenly due to a change in birth control brand, and a change in diet (where I ate a lot of "soy" proteins, which are basically phytoestrogens). After my gynecologist changed my birth control to a different brand and I stopped eating a bunch of soy products like these, they went away in a few weeks like magic.
My first few attempts at GF pasta ranged from "not that good" to "toss the entire thing, no way I'm eating this". Keep experimenting with brands and types. For instance, I love this spaghetti, but dislike the elbow and thicker pastas they have.
I never thought of it before, but HappyChicken may also have a point about quinoa pasta - it does seem to firm back up when it cools. When I make it, I usually do double then refrigerate the already-cooked pasta leftovers for later - toss it with a tiny bit of butter first (TINY BIT) and it won't stick together. That leftover pasta is often really good!

I eat mostly gluten free at home simply because my husband has a gluten intolerance and we don't keep much gluten in the house. You didn't ask for tips about food, so feel free to ignore this. But I've found some bean based pastas that are gf and much lower carb/higher protein and fiber than regular (gf or otherwise) pastas.

If I use it in a dish with plenty of fat and protein (e.g, pasta with pesto and chicken or pasta carbonara with shrimp), my numbers do great. Hope this is of some use to you! Good luck :)
