  1. Most of the vegan body builders recommend a 60/20/20 (c/f/p) split. Meals should incorporate LOTS of greens, beans, legumes and some soy but as minimally processed as possible. I agree with Elena29 that your 1500 target seems pretty low - is that your net cals or intake? Are you just super petite? Regardless you should calculate your TDEE and reduce by 20% as a starting place. Also include a re-feed day 1x per week min (focus on carbs not crap) to keep your metabolism fired up.
  2. I have had so many issues like this since going vegan. It sounds like you either have a food allergy or a serious gut flora imbalance. The reason you can digest meat proteins are likely because you are/were eating that rather than the pea/beans/hemp/whatever else you're eating not that you're allergic to. Start with an elimination diet and taking a high quality activated charcoal for 2+ months. Cut down on all high sugar foods (incl most fruits) and focus on whole plant starches and lots of veggies. Dr. McDougall or Dr Klapper, both have elimination diets freely posted on their websites, just google. It may also be worth doing a phone consult with Klapper at True North. https://www.drmcdougall.com/misc/2002nl/dec/021200diet.htm https://www.drmcdougall.com/misc/2016nl/apr/sibo.htm https://www.drmcdougall.com/health/shopping/books/dr-mcdougalls-digestive-tune-up/ MOST IMPORTANTLY DO NOT GIVE UP. Go watch earthlings if you feel the desire to go back to animal meats.
