Written by HealthSensibly Editorial TeamReviewed by the HealthSensibly editorial teamUpdated
Plant-based plans for every goal
Pick a goal above — PCOS, thyroid, weight loss, weight gain and others — and Vegan is already ticked: each meal excludes meat, fish, eggs, ghee, paneer, curd and milk. A carefully planned vegan diet can be healthy at all ages, though a handful of nutrients need extra care.
| Nutrient | Plant-based sources | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Vitamin B12 | A supplement or fortified foods | Essential — plants are not a reliable source |
| Calcium | Fortified plant milk, sesame, calcium-set tofu, ragi | Target 1,000 mg daily |
| Protein | Seeds, nuts, tofu, soy, chana, rajma, dal | Have some with every meal |
| Iron | Seeds, millets, greens, dal | Pair with vitamin C |
| Omega-3 | Walnuts, chia, flaxseed | Supplements made from algae are available |
| Iodine | Iodised salt | Cook with iodised salt |
Vegan and pregnant or breastfeeding? Your needs can be met, but ask your doctor about vitamin D, DHA, iodine, iron and B12. Looking for more protein? Try the high-protein vegetarian plan.
Your questions, answered
Is B12 supplementation necessary for vegans?
Yes. Plant foods are not a dependable source of B12, so vegans should have fortified foods or a supplement every day.
Will a vegan plan help me lose weight?
It can — choose “Weight loss” above and your vegan plan will be calorie-counted. Results depend on calories and protein rather than on going vegan.
Can vegans use ghee?
No — ghee comes from butter, which makes it a dairy product. Cook with plant oils instead.
