I've been vegan about two months. I got sick and have been sick for weeks. This happens to me sometimes but this one's unusual. Even now, I'm tired and sniffly. I eat a lot of beans and a staggering quantity of veggies which should in theory meet my protein needs, but I experimentally bought a chicken burrito, ate it, and felt a surge of energy

well, the main source, the nutritional MD, is quite rabid about nutrient density, which basically means only natural food, except for B12. like to get essential fats I eat flax, not fish oil. the idea being that a natural source of any nutrient, packaged with many other nutrients, is always better than an isloated nutrient derived through some chemical wizardry.

I might just get another burrito. The diet allows like four ounces of meat a week. I just figured "no meat" would be easier to remember.
