Cal's are one thing, sources are another. As for 1200 from one vegan meal? Probably, the question is the 'defining' point for vegan, because some consider milk and eggs to be perfectly fine. If you add that into the mix, then it becomes easy.
Legumes also include the required amino acid profile for it. I'll stick with my meat heavy diet though.
Beans and rice (or wheat) are all you need as far as protein goes. Your body can create anything it needs from that. This is why grains and legumes are the staples of diets around the world.
Not that this stops me from eating steak and chicken, but it's definitely possible.
If you're broke, beans and rice is a good way to keep well fed without a ton of cost.
Also, it's possible to eat vegan without touching soy. I did it for 6 months (was developing prediabetes and it helped me get that under control) and never ate any soy other than the occasional soy sauce in a stir fry. Fermented soy is fine. It's the tofu that will fuck you up.
Soy sauce can be hit or miss. Some are fermented, but a lot of the stuff on the market is highly processed via fat and high temperature separation. I grew up on the stuff, and we made our own - lot of people don't like waiting 12mo-20mo for it. You can taste the difference between the two as well.

Lol no, vegan by definition means no eggs and no diary
I've asked the question of getting 1000+ cal in a vegan meal already, but can't get any answers.

Good points though.
Milk and eggs definitely not vegan. Acceptable for some vegetarians, maybe (but then again, so is fish for some).
Milk and egg eaters are vegetarians, not vegan. Vegans, by definition, do not eat animal products. Most won't even eat honey. They are fanatics
