this feels like a strawman. I dont think anyone is going vegan to lose weight. 99% of people you see talk about it do it for ethical reasons.
I know this is a shitpost, but how do you get all your nutrients on a vegan or vegetarian diet? I’m considering reducing my meat intake but am worried about the nutrient thing
Iirc just rice and beans cover all essential amino acids so nothing to worry about. Obviously, in the real world scenario the diet will be more varied than that with veggies and grains and stuff so the vitamins/fatty acids will be covered as well. If you want to get real numbers there are apps for this, for example Cronometer - pretty cool. So overall I’d say don’t worry about it, just eat enough and different foods, supplement with B12 and check the bloodwork yearly.
