> Meat provides such easily prepareable calories

Ever hear of tofu? A tofu scramble takes maybe 15 mins to make, and it's actually good for you [0] rather than causing cancer. [1]

I have, I don't really like the lack of fibrous texture that meat has.

I have had an Impossible Burger that would be a drop in meat replacement for me if it ever becomes available to buy uncooked.

IMO the Beyond Burger is a better modern vegan burger patty. They have them in refrigerated 2-packs at Whole Foods. Sadly, they are not cheap.
Impossible Burger 2.0 (which just debuted) will be sold in "select US grocery stores"

If you bread and bake tofu you can get it to be pretty damn close. Impossible Burger is great, and should be available soon - Beyond Burger should already be widely available.
