Beginnings
I have purchased Simply Vegan by Debra Wasserman as a prelude to my vegan adventure in October. According to a brief flip through, vegans get approximately 11% of their calories from protein which is sufficient if you eat a lot of calories. The author helpfully suggests limiting calories and calories from fat to lose weight. Uh, okay.
How about I toss in some (as far as I know completely vegan) soy shakes?
Any recommendations from people who have tried a vegetarian or vegan diet?

They are a good source and I do plan on using them. However, I tend to eat more protein than average so it would be pretty difficult to get the macro balance I'm used to with beans since they still have a lot of carbs - that's why I plan on supplementing with soy protein powder. I don't want to lean too heavily on soy supplementation but I do want to eat more protein and fewer carbs.
