Knowing what to eat
If you’ve recently gone vegan, you might be struggling with what to eat. What can you make to recreate your favorite dishes? How can you know you’re eating the right mix of foods to stay healthy? A dietitian can guide you through these challenges, empowering you to make healthy food choices every day.
Getting enough protein
Protein is at the top of most vegans’ minds, and for good reason. Plant-based protein is more complicated than animal protein and it can be difficult to navigate all the options. Should you eat tofu? Seitan? Beans? In what quantities? Your vegan nutritionist can give you protein guidelines and a grocery list to ensure you get enough protein in your diet.
Preventing nutritional deficiencies
Some people mistakenly think a vegan diet is inherently healthy. The truth is, any diet can be “unhealthy”; a diet is only “healthy” if it contains the proper mix of nutrients to support your body and lifestyle. Having guidance from a nutritionist to ensure you are getting enough vitamins and minerals in your diet is vital to prevent any nutritional deficiencies.
Recreating foods you love
Wondering how to bake without eggs? Recreate Thanksgiving dinner? Make a meal that will satisfy people of all diets? Your dietitian can provide plenty of tips and recipes on making your favorite foods vegan.
