More or Less What It Promises to Be
ProsAs promised, all recipes have macros. This is the first collection of vegan recipes for which I've found that!Most of the recipes are surprisingly tasty. There were also lots of ideas for flavor profiles that we hadn't tried before and just general vegan recipe ideas in the lunch/dinners. This was especially helpful since most recipe mains revolve around a meat. Not having to immediately sub a soy protein for that meat main was a nice change!If you follow the meal plan, you will be very full while staying within calories and macrosThe lunches and dinners all use real, whole foodConsSome of the instructions are not logically written and the pictures don't always match the recipe - the Stuffed Indian Eggplant for instance (pictured).Some of the serving sizes are odd - sometimes it makes 3 servings, which can be interesting to plan around if two people are following the meal plan.Although lunches and dinners are whole food, the breakfasts and snacks (on the meal plan you eat 2 snacks/day) always include gobs of protein powder. For one snack/meal per day, I think protein powder is fine, but IMO the daily macros rely too much on protein powder.Instructions may need tweaking; especially on the protein powder recipes, I often found I had to add water or use a blender rather than mixing to achieve the suggested texture.

How much is the serving?
How do you know how much a serving is? Says for example “serves 4” but doesn’t say how much the serving is. Otherwise everything else looks good so far! But wish it had more images

Nothing news here and not a lot of cooking for a cookbook.
A well presented book but lacks variety to really be called a cookbook. Too many of the recipes involve ‘add three scoops of protein powder’ as a way of hitting protein goals. I also found the recipes a little ‘typical’ so nothing really groundbreaking here. Finally, I also found many recipes had a high fat content which may be an issue for some on controlled nutritional macros.
