A person can eat a nutritionally varied vegan diet without fasting, and fasting does not correct a poorly planned diet.<\/p>\n<p>The practical challenge is fitting enough food into the available eating opportunities. Large volumes of vegetables may feel filling while leaving other food groups underrepresented.<\/p>\n<p>Include substantial protein foods, starches, fats, and fortified foods as appropriate. A meal consisting mainly of raw vegetables may need additions.<\/p>\n<p>If eating enough already feels difficult, prioritize nutritional adequacy.

Check the label rather than relying on the product category.<\/p>\n<p>Adult B12 requirements are commonly expressed as 2.4 mcg daily. Supplement dosing is a separate question because absorption and individual circumstances differ (<a href=\"https:\/\/ods.od.nih.gov\/factsheets\/VitaminB12-HealthProfessional\/\">2<\/a>). Ask a clinician or dietitian about your intake and any need for testing.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align:center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_can_you_include_calcium_and_vitamin_D\"><\/span><strong>How can you include calcium and vitamin D?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Choose calcium-set tofu, appropriate fortified drinks, and other calcium-containing foods. Calcium content varies between tofu products and plant drinks (<a href=\"https:\/\/ods.od.nih.gov\/factsheets\/Calcium-HealthProfessional\/\">7<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Vitamin D may come from fortified foods and supplements. Some mushrooms contain more vitamin D after ultraviolet exposure, but ordinary mushrooms are not interchangeable with fortified products (<a href=\"https:\/\/ods.od.nih.gov\/factsheets\/VitaminD-HealthProfessional\/\">8<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/vitamins-for-seniors-over-70\/\">vitamin guide for older adults<\/a> explains age-related considerations.
