Actually I am a vegan myself. I don’t quite understand what you mean by recommendations but and advise I can give you is jus to eat what makes you feel good about yourself and if you are having a problem with getting used to the “weird”(as non vegans call it) food just either think of it as a normal one or think about the cause you’re doing all of this for. At the end it will be worth it trust me. Eat small portions as many times a day as you want. And try and eat healthy (which means more raw fruit and vegetables, less oil in the food while cooking etc.). Just remember you’re already healthier than a lot of people if you’re vegetarian or vegan. You are a beautiful and extraordinary person, which makes you awsome, never forget that! <3 All the best, Roni.
We live in a time of abundance, so dietary requirements need not be intimidating! Consider seeking out specialty products like plant-based cheez or new cooking techniques to make the foods that nourish you appealing. Focus not on what you cannot eat, but what you can enjoy. And don’t forget: the right amount of seasoning can make all the difference! Lastly, try roasting a whole head of cauliflower. Look up the technique and then try something savory and substantial you may never have thought up yourself.
For vegetarian ensure they eat plenty of protein rich foods such us eggs and cheese- stay away from starch- carbo rich foods such as rice, pasta, e.t.c. No sugars, no swets such as bread etc.
Something that has worked for me is making a frittata and saving the leftovers for later. You can put whatever veggies and seasoning you want in the pan and it’ll taste great. While frittatas aren’t vegan they can definitely be vegetarian. It’s a light, quick and easy meal that is a good way to start the day.
I myself am a vegetarian and allergic to peanuts and a few nuts. I tend to eat a lot of seeds, because it is a great supplement for meat. For breakfast I eat yogurt with fruit and honey and flaxseeds. It’s delicious!
Stir up some eggs and spices in a mug with some spices and put it in the microwave for two minutes. It’s fast and easy to travel with.
If you don’t eat meat I would have an egg, or some beans. If you are nut free (specifically just peanuts) there are other types of nut butters like almond. But if you can’t have any type of nut they have seed butters which tastes almost the same ! (such as sunflower seed butter, pumpkin seed butter, etc.) If you don’t eat wheat, oat flour is a great substitute which tastes the same and you can make your own bread! If you need the calcium, almond milk is a great option, it’s not the same but the chocolate one is amazing and even the un-sweetened
Begin with eliminating food groups you cannot have, then look for substitutes for those food groups. When I learned that my day is not about my next meal but that food is just the fuel that gives me what I need to do important tasks for the day, I stopped wondering about my next meal. Plan your meals out so that you don’t have to think about how to put something together. This will take stress off your day. Find someone to eat and do the same habits you’re doing. A partner in your journey is likely the most important part of this.
There is always a way around it. If you are vegetarian you always have the option of green leaves and beans for protein. Say if you are dairy free there is always cheese and milk without the lactose and you can get pill to help. I recommend that you take it one step at a time. When I found out I had a dairy intolerance, I was very overwhelmed. As I said, I sat down and took it step by step. With any dietary requirements you just have to sit down and say, “Okay just because I can’t have ___ that doesn’t mean I just can’t take up the challenge. My other options are ___.” And then make a list of all the thing to replace say dairy, or nuts, or meat.
For breakfast, i think the best thing ever for people who don’t eat animal products, is avocado toast! 🥑 With people who are nut free, oatmeal or eggs. Just wakevup at least 5-10minutes earlier, and you will have everything ready + you will be on time to work/school...
