Low calorie vegetarian diet plan -

A low calorie vegetarian diet plan should include at least 1-2 fruits in a day; try to avoid dry fruits as they are higher on calorie content. Green leafy vegetables are not only rich in vitamins and minerals but they are also very fibrous and therefore are good for digestion and building your metabolic system in a way to be able to burn the extra fat. It is good to eat some vegetables as salads at all meal times or even when you get hungry as they are high on vitamins and low on calories. Soy and tofu are very good options for proteins as they are low on fat. Using either soy or tofu in your low calorie cooking will be able to help you to eat healthy and get the required amount of proteins even when you stick to a low calorie vegetarian menu. Nuts are also considered to be healthy as they are low on calories and can be eaten as small snacks.
