Vegan
No animal products at all — no meat, dairy, eggs, or honey.
What it is
Veganism excludes all animal products — not just meat and fish, but dairy, eggs, and often honey too. For a lot of people it's as much an ethical stance on animal use as a dietary one, but the eating pattern itself is what this filter looks at.
Common foods
Vegetables, fruit, grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and plant-based fats and proteins — tofu, tempeh, and beans are the most common protein anchors.
Tips & hacks
- Combine proteins across a day, not every single meal — the old advice to pair "complete proteins" at every meal turned out to be unnecessary; what matters is variety over the course of a day.
- B12 doesn't occur naturally in plant foods — fortified foods or a supplement are the standard way vegans cover this one, worth knowing regardless of how the rest of the diet is going.
- Nutritional yeast is the "cheesy" flavor workhorse — a spoonful in a sauce or sprinkled on popcorn gets surprisingly close to a parmesan-like savoriness without any dairy.
- A recipe qualifies here if it has no meat, seafood, dairy, or egg in its ingredient list (or is tagged vegan directly) — a best-effort read, not a certified vegan audit.
