Meatless More Than 200 of the Very Best Vegetarian Recipes
My boyfriend and I are mainly Vegetarian. I never thought I would be able to do it, but some of the meals I have made have been so delicious that I don't really miss meat at all. My favorite resources for meals are the following:
Minimalist Baker
Cookie & Kate
Meatless
The Complete Vegetarian
Hopefully that helps some, and I will say I haven't much I disliked from those books/blogs.
Martha Stewart has a cookbook called Meatless which is all vegetarian, all reasonable calories (a variety though, depending on what you're looking for) and detailed nutritional information for each recipe. Like everything, you have to have a basic knowledge to be able to spot the occasional mistake or to notice that a particular product might be very different depending on what brand you buy (e.g. yogurt), but in general it's a good resource. https://www.amazon.ca/Meatless-More-Than-Vegetarian-Recipes/dp/0307954560/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1527634075&sr=1-1&keywords=martha+stewart%27s+meatless
America's Test Kitchen put out a vegan cookbook a while ago that contains nutritional information, and is quite good. https://www.amazon.ca/Vegan-Everybody-Foolproof-Plant-Based-Between/dp/194035286X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1527634029&sr=1-1&keywords=america%27s+test+kitchen+vegan
MyFitnessPal as /u/smasht507 mentioned, is a great resource for free meal tracking. You'll input your information and it'll give you guidelines per day based on your goals (to lose, maintain or gain weight).
I use the Fitbit app which is a similar concept, in conjunction with a tracker (the One - very cheap and functional).
Basically if you're looking for weight control, you need to establish your BMR (basal metablic rate) which is related to your gender, age, height and weight. This is the number of calories your body burns before you start figuring in exercise. Your TDEE on the other hand (Total daily energy expenditure) is the COMPLETE amount of calories you burn, both just running your own body's functions and the exercise you do - everything from walking to the bathroom, to playing volleyball to going up & down the stairs at work.
You can calculate your BMR yourself - to get a pretty accurate TDEE you'll probably need a tracker or to use your phone to help establish how many steps you're taking, and log the intentional exercise you might do. If you eat under your TDEE, you'll lose weight. 500 calories/day less than you expend will allow you to lose 1lb/week. This is a pretty sustainable amount for most people.
If you're just looking to get a handle on your nutrition, such as protein/fibre/fat intake, this is also possible using one of the aforementioned apps.
