So i want reduce my fat percentage a little, and since i find it hard to know how much to eat i want to try a meal plan.

Im already fit, i just have some fat i would like to lose so that my muscles are a little more visable. But all the mealplans i find on the internet are all filled with dairy products, and im lactose intolerant. in addition most lactose-free products or soyproducts are more expensive than regular products, and as a student i can't afford it

So im thinking about following a vegan meal plan, but i can't seem to find one. So anyone who can recommend a vegan meal plan or have any recipies they would like to share?

Vegan Lasagna
Ingredients:
1 zucchini
1 yellow squash
mushrooms
spinach
tomato sauce
vegan cheese (I use the Daiya brand)
no boil lasagna pasta layers
bulb of garlic (optional)
Prep: 1. Roast garlic by wrapping in foil and baking in oven at 350 for 30 min. The garlic should have a brown color and should be very soft. (The garlic is to be blended up with the sauce later on when you're heating the sauce.)
2. Cut up the vegetables
Directions
1. Steam the zucchini, squah and mushrooms. (This is to release some of the water in the vegetables. If you don't the wter will release in the lasagna and overflow while in the oven. There's no need to steam the spinach.
2. In a blender, take a portion of the sauce and blend the roasted garlic with it and pour the mixture back into the pot with the rest of the sauce. Season with your desired seasoning.
3. Combine the vegetables and sauce including spinach.
4. In your desired dish you can start layering the lasagna starting with the veggie sauce mixture, vegan cheese, and then the no boil pasta layer. (Just be sure not to put the pasta on the bottom without any sauce, it'll burn on the bottom. I made the mistake once. Also be sure to save enough cheese for the top.)
5. When you're done bake the lasagna for 30 min at 350.
For this recipe you can put in anything really. In the past I used fresh thyme or rosemary. I also put sliced bell pepper and broccoli too.

I feel that the best vegan (or vegetarian) dishes are ones that are naturally so. The worst stuff are those processed textured soy-protein ones like the fake chicken patties or vegan cheese. Not only are they expensive, but they're just gross. However, have you ever had a falafel sandwich? People eat them like crazy in the middle east -- completely vegan and it's a complete protein. Have you tried thai food? Swimming rama, phad thai, and phad prik -- all vegan and all super delicious. Indian food -- the masala dosa, samosa, saag, mattar masala? Also delicious! In the case of the falafel, the creamy sauce consists of tahini -- a peanut-butter-like sauce made of sesame seeds. In those Indian dishes, cashews are used to make the creamy sauce of the mattar masala.

You really do have some great options, plus you of course have things like chocolate available to you for desserts. I think a vegan life does not have to by joyless.
