I've been a vegetarian since 2004 and have really been happy with my choice. However, since surgery I'm finding it difficult to find foods that are high protein/low carb for vegetarians. Obviously there's fresh veggies and fruit and tofu, but sometimes I just want a comforting snack (potato chips, grilled cheese...)

I'm searching for some good suggestions of easy to make meals or snacks for someone who is a vegetarian. I am looking for high protein/low carb... and have lots of things I make, but am getting tired of the same old things!

I like vegetarian refried beans with cheese, salsa and sometimes sour cream. The refried beans are great for protein.

One of our staples, we call a haystack.

A few corn chips

Beans, black, pinto, refried, kidney, with taco seasoning

lettuce, lots or as little as you like

Tomato

toppings of your choice, salsa, sour cream, cottage cheese, shredded cheddar cheese.

There are lots of variations, depending on what you have on hand.

That's exactly what I was going to say. Fat free refried beans, with cheese on top. Yum.

I also love eating a baked potato with cottage cheese and broccoli. Yum.

Good luck!
