I have tried plant based diets in the past and relied on salads and leafy meals. I felt hungry all of the time, hence the diet changes ended. The recipes I have been using recently are more filling and I am not hungry an hour later. A couple of these recipes are black bean burgers, black bean tortillas, and overnight oats. I found these meals to be filling and lasting. The oats and tortillas were delicious. The black bean burgers were delicious but it took me a bit to get used to the texture. I find that these recipes call for more spices than I used previously and I feel like my meals now have greater variety in taste. Between meals, I eat whole grain breads, fruit, nuts and seeds. I haven’t cut out dairy but have reduced my use significantly. I’m quite active and a bigger guy; I didn’t think the meals would meet my needs but I my energy levels are fine.
