<human>: I've been struggling with some serious health problems this year (neurologist is guessing a form of atypical hydrocephalus) that left me basically bed-ridden for months. Didn't take long for the depression to creep up, and I eventually turned to food. I went from a 23 y/o 5'7", 125 lb vegan girl who biked everywhere to a 150 lb recluse who'd eat an entire frozen cheese pizza for breakfast. I have a lean frame, so while  150 isn't terrible on paper, the extra weight is glaringly obvious on me. 

I'm feeling much better this month, and finally made a pact with myself last week to get back to my old diet and start running. I'm worried about protein, though: I've been told to avoid soy and certain nuts, but I can't find anything online about tofu, tempeh, wild quinoa, etc. Seitan is a gluten nightmare, so that can't be great, either. Any advice for a newbie? I want to avoid "bad" proteins and carbs, but a fruits-and-veggies-only diet seems unsustainable.

Condense the text into a few key points
<bot>: Was ill, comforted myself with food, and abandoned veganism for cheese and chocolate binges. Now I'm back on the wagon and looking for the best sources of diet-friendly protein and any all-around advice.
