Folks at r/vcj have convinced me, read title. From what I understand I should also be looking into taking B-12 supplements, any other important nutrient supplement/whatever that I should be aware of?

Sorry if this is a redundant question but I couldn't easily find a thread about this, feel free to link to another thread if this has been discussed (probably has).

    The first months I went vegan, what saved me is:

    • oat milk and oat for breakfast, plus a banana. This is still my go-to breakfast
    • lentils. I fucking love lentils, they're cheap and tasty and a great source of protein. You can also use them to make pasta with bolognese, it's pretty good
    • rice & (red) beans
    • spinach. Great source of iron and calcium, they taste fucking good and are cheap
    • seitan, tofu, chia seeds. I would just throw them randomly wherever I could
    • of course salad
    • various cereals I used to eat for dinner, like, as a soup or in a salad

    I used to buy a lot of these stuff just to make sure I was getting the nutrients I needed, and in the meantime I experimented with new stuff and learned to do proper groceries. Not that I'm good at cooking now, but I'm definitely better and at least people don't go "lol typical depressing vegan salad" when I bring my packed meal at work
