My advice: don't expect dairy or meat substitutes to taste like what they're substituting for. Taste them like you would a new food and decide their merit based on whether you like them, not what you hope they'll taste like. You'll like a lot more stuff that way.
You might want to try snacking on some nuts. I'm not a fan of peanuts but having to shell them helps you eat slow enough that you will know when you've eaten enough to satisfy and the larger brazil & other nuts will give your stomach a bit 'heavier' snack that takes longer to digest so it will stick with you longer than salad.
Again... Luck!
Thanks for the advice,
