Is my diet as a vegan that much different?
Is my diet as a vegan that much different? Most of the foods you eat are vegan already and with a couple of simple swaps, most people would be 90% vegan.
If we break it down further, for breakfast I've replaced the milk with soy milk.
Lunch, I've replaced chicken with tempeh & mayo for hummus. You can also use other alternatives, this is just what I used.
For dinner, again I've subbed the chicken out and used chickpeas, you can use vegan chicken if you want something even more similar.
For my smoothie, I've swapped whey for plant-based protein and used the soy milk from earlier.
The point is overall it's probably 5-6 ingredients that are different. I wouldn't worry about the finer details until you reach that stage, as it can be difficult to know the origins of some ingredients. My advice here is to focus on whole foods first then looked for products with the vegan label to be sure, but don't get too bogged down in the detail to begin with.
Even now I still have to figure out some products and if they are fully vegan, so I understand for someone new it can be a struggle. You won't get it right every time, all you can do is your best.
