I often eat "substitute" foods, such as Quorn and Linda McCartney products, that contain many of the nutrients found in meat, such as high protein (which I also get from things like beans and pulses). They're meant to taste like meat, but to be honest I've never tried any so I wouldn't know. With the right planning and care, even vegans can enjoy a healthy, balanced diet.
