Shopping List

If it takes more than 5 minutes to cook, I'm not interested!

Vegan Menus and Shopping List

 

Below are my two default menus, followed by a consolidated shopping list.

Personally I would have no problem at all with alternating these indefinitely: Monday/Tuesday, Wednesday/Thursday, etc. ad inf.

But of course I feel free to add more variety whenever I wish.

 

Recommended caloric intake depends on one's height, weight, age, and activity level.

For me that comes out to 2025 calories per day, or 675 per meal.

Some dietary recommendations also vary by sex.

 

Note : This is the nutritional guide I use: http://veganhealth.org/articles/dailyrecs .

You can also consult that link regarding supplements.

I take B12, DHA, and iodine on an alternating schedule.
