Concerns meeting calorie needs as lazy/busy person
I am wanting to try more of a plant based diet, but I worry about meeting my calorie needs. I am often very busy and struggle to find time for long meal preps.
My typical diet is to drink a couple of protein and fruit smoothies for my first two meals, then load up for dinner. This works well for me as I can get my meal on the go, then prepare a proper meal at dinner time when I am more free. Admittedly, right now I am eating meats in rice, but I want to experiment with doing lentils instead (2 cup lentil+half a cup of wild rice).
Based on the calculations I made though, I will be intaking at MOST 1,300 calories. 2,000 is closer to what I need right? Any recommendations that aren't super expensive (I am flat broke)? Like some seeds or butters like peanut butter in the smoothie.
