Does anyone know a good guide to nutrition for the vegan lifestyle. I
know what foods are good, but how do i know I'm eating the right
things to meet my nutritional needs? Is there a sample menu somewhere
without me having to buy a book?

Thanks,

Scott

I just looked at day 3 of the 1800 kcal/day plan.

soymilk fortified
banana
raisin bran
cantaloupe
whole wheat veg crackers
vegan chili
salad
cornbread
orange juice fortified
mixed nuts
brown rice w/ lentils
broccoli w/ olive oil

It's not a bad day, but it could be better. It's borderline
on niacin and zinc, low in vitamin E, and has a poor omega6:
omega3 ratio. It also does not provide the full spectrum of
phytochemicals. There is nothing purple for anthocyanins and
it is low in greens and could be much higher in soluble fibers.

Could address all of these problems by substituting dark
leafy greens for half of the grains and adding some other
colored vegetables and dark blue/purple berries, and specifiying
mostly walnuts or hazelnuts for the nuts with 1 T ground flax.
