Quorn or tofu for meat, soya or tofutti for dairy and cheese, lentils, other pulses and grains for meat nuts for protein, like cheese on top of meals.

There are a lot of great vegan meat substitutes in healthier food stores now. You can usually find them in the frozen section. There is everything from dairy-free cheeses to meatless burgers, mock chicken, eggless mayo, etc. A lot of it is very tasty too. I wouldn't say that they actually taste like meat or what you're used to, but they can satisfy a craving if you are determined to be a vegan. Some popular brand names to look for are Morningstar, Boca and Amy's.

Meat - tofu, tempeh, seitan, beans. Protein can also be found in just about anything, broccoli has 4.66 grams of protein per cup and only 45 calories - that means that half of broccoli's calories come from protein! A cup of whole grain pasta has more protein than an egg. It's really hard NOT to get your daily protein if you are vegan. Dairy - soy milk, almond milk, rice milk, hemp milk, oat milk... there's plenty of subs. I prefer Silk Vanilla Soy milk and Almond Breeze Unsweetened almond milk. Eggs - There is a huge list of ways to substitute eggs in cooking and baking here: http://www.vegansociety.com/html/food/catering_and_cookery/eggfree.php Honey - agave nectar tastes just like honey, looks just like honey, and no animals are harmed in the process! Also, it is very low on the glycemic index level, so it's fantastic for diabetics. White sugar - raw cane sugar, agave nectar, other vegan sugars. White sugar is filtered through bone char and is NOT vegan.
