[quote=Anonymous]My go-tos are hummus and nut butters, and then a variety of fruits and vegetables. For lunch I usually bring (to work) two slices of whole grain bread and keep hummus in the fridge. He could also make a sandwich with hummus, vegetables (like sliced tomatos and sprouts) and avocado. Nuts and nut butters have healthy fats (help you feel full) and also protein. Also cereal with non-dairy milks and fresh fruit is an easy thing to keep on hand. As far as meal ideas go, try cheeseless pizza (make yourself or try Amy's from the store), pasta without cheese (red sauce, oilve oil, etc.) or grill food (portabello mushrooms for vegan son). I do think a vegan lifestyle is very healthy if you do it right. He will need to take B-vitamin supplements. If you believe he is capable of doing so, you should have him do some research about what nutrients he will need to get from plants and which plants he needs to eat (ie iron from leafy greens).

Oh, and beans and quinoa are big staples! And try Daiya from Whole Foods. [/quote]
