Carbs and Cals. (from Amazon) is an excellent book. It shows you plates of food with details of portion size, carbs, calories, protein, fat and fibre. Easy to follow. Have a look on Amazon.

How about this one @sickofit ?
I reckon you could swap the sausages for quorn ones?

Sausage and lentil casserole
12 sausages
2 packs of Puy lentils
3 peppers
3 handfuls of carrot batons
Garlic butter
400ml stock
Gravy granules
Seasoning

Set oven to 200 degrees c.
Fry sausages in oven proof pan until they get some colour. (You will need a lid.)
Chop and add veg.
Add garlic butter.
Fry for couple of mins.
Add everything except the gravy granules.
Pop in oven for 30 mins.
Add some gravy granules to thicken sauce.
Eat and enjoy!
