Only used 1 T oil and the entire recipe was 3 cups total.
on the plate - (130 cal) Gardein vegan breaded turk'y cutlet, caulipotatoes (1/2 mashed cauliflower, 1/2 mashed potato), peas & carrots, low cal cranberry dressing
Not sure of total calories for plate since yesterday was my day off from calorie counting (my idea of a "cheat day")
cranberry dressing - take fresh cranberries, wash them and microwave (covered) until you can mash them with a fork. Add sweetener and frozen orange juice (about 1 T) to taste.
edit - the reason my gravy looks different from minimalist baker's is that the broth I used is different from hers which has a red tint. Also I opted to keep some of the mushrooms out of the blender and add them in later for texture.
This was SUCH a good chili recipe. My changes - used 0 cal sweetener instead of molasses (added sweetener at the end of cooking). Added 174 grams of Gardein beefless ground to increase protein. I cooked my lentils seperately and then added them toward the end. Also, did not use 2 T oil, only spray oil (cals included). All spice calories were counted. Used Better than Bouillon no-chicken for my broth (3 tsp bouillon added to 3.5 c water). Entire recipe the way I made it was 11 cups. 1 cup is pictured in photo. saltine cals are also included in total
The cheeze on the broccoli was sliced up Follow your Heart American (I prefer this to the shreds). Covered everything in the microwave to get it melty.

Seitan is not expensive if you make it yourself. A $7 bag of Vital Wheat gluten has about 20 servings of a 1/4 cup of 23 g protein each. It's also super easy to batch cook too, especially compared to chicken breasts.
Here's the recipe. However, instead of simmering it, i wrap up the pieces in foil and bake it at 375* for 45 minutes (flipping once). Use Better than Bullion for your broth and the recommended nutritional yeast flakes and it tastes like savory bread that takes very well to any seasoning (I will just eat it plain if i'm in a rush).
Also buy a big tub of whey protein (you said you eat dairy). 2 or 3 servings of seitan and a protein shake (with milk or soymilk) and you're fine.

That's what I use, it's delicious. You could also just use vegetable broth which is much cheaper.

SANDWICH:
SOUP:
instructions: sandwich is self explanatory. boil soup for 15 minutes and add egg 3 minutes before completion
Chipotle burger recipe is [here]
(http://www.budgetbytes.com/2013/05/chipotle-sweet-potato-burgers/)
(I used 3/4 of the beans and 1/2 the cornmeal)
The salad is modified from here. (I added zucchini to lower calories and used less quinoa. Also added cumin, sweetener, and salt in addition to lime.)
I used this in the quinoa and it was delicious. Best bouillon I've ever tried.
The two burgers on the plate are actually one serving (the recipe's burger size for one serving is really large, so I split it in two).
Looks good.
Question: based on the measurement for vegan chicken stock (2tsp.) it seems the recipe might be calling for some sort of concentrate such as this: https://www.amazon.com/Better-Than-Bouillon-Chicken-Certified/dp/B000N7YKQK
Is that correct or is this regular strength stock?
I haven't tried it myself yet, but I've heard that Better-Than-Bouillon No-Chicken Base makes a good substitute for chicken broth.
Never had this soup myself but I love trying to make a vegan/vegetarian version of existing dishes.
I found this recipe on google:

Swapping the chicken broth for vegetable broth is one option, but I’ve also seen some vegan chicken broth products. We use one that comes in a powder form from a local health food store. There are some on amazon as well.
Something like this:

You could also make your own vegetable broth. Homemade broth is really tasty.
For the chicken meat, I’ve had good luck with butler soy curls in a soup. They stay together well and don’t turn to mush In a soup like a lot of fake meat products. I usually brown them in a sauté pan first. If you hydrate them in your broth they take on its flavor. They also sell a vegan chicken flavor seasoning for it (same brand) but I’d imagine your broth will give enough flavor on its own but you can experiment.

The tricky part is probably the eggs. You’ll have to experiment here to get what you’re after.
It sounds like they’re being used as a thickener and making the soup creamy. The recipe calls for mixing the eggs with lemon juice almost like a mayonnaise or a hollandaise sauce.
A “flax seed egg” might work for you, google it and you can see how that’s made. I’d also consider puréed silken tofu. My mom uses silken tofu instead of egg in her cheesecake recipe with pretty good luck. Some combo of the two might even work.
Not sure if this soup has an eggy flavor from the eggs, but if that’s missing you can use a little black salt which has an eggy flavor.
It might take a few try’s and some experimentation but it looks like it can be done.
They have it at Target by me, and at the food co-op, and at the organic/health food section of the grocery store. By the broth/bouillon.
It comes in a jar like this.
Try this out I love it! http://www.amazon.com/Better-Than-Bouillon-Chicken-Certified/dp/B000N7YKQK
Solves that desire for chicken broth/flavor.
As a fake meat I like Butler Soy curds that to my palate do not have that soy after taste that plagues many fake meats. I marinate it is Hot sauce, garlic and onion powders and maybe a little bit of liquid smoke. I fry the drained soy curds in peanut oil and sprinkle on their Chik-Style Seasoning as a breading and it works really nice in stir frys or with Better then Bullion I can come up with a pretty mean chicken noodle soup. I like the soy curds better then Gardein and they are much cheaper.
Quinoa is incredibly versatile and can be used in so many ways!
A lot of people will have awesome recipes, but I just want to add that if you're doing something like stirfry and want to create a 'meatier' flavour, you can add some vegan 'chicken' or vegan 'beef' bouillon when boiling the quinoa.
If you can get some chicken style bouillon to make gravy with, that would give everything a more poultry taste. Here is a simple gravy recipe: 911 Gravy Poultry seasoning will also help (it is just a blend of herbs commonly used on turkey).
Good vegan chicken style bouillons include: Better the Bouillon No Chicken Base, Edward & Sons Not Chik'n, and Orrington Farms Chicken flavored
The beef extract however is in the soup base (the packet) which you can leave out and sub with vegetable bouillon like this:
