    Remember to supplement the missing vitamins. I think B12 is the big one, but also about 40% of people can’t turn beta carotene into vitamin A (retinol) and need to supplement it. If you run into odd vision problems, try vitamin A - the first sign of a deficiency is night blindness

    (Hardly a full diet when one supplement is needed for everyone, and several more for some)

      I take a multivitamin just for the hell of it, figure I’ll piss out what’s not needed and take what is.

      It’s the specific proteins I’m worried about missing out, though macros weren’t a concern when I ate meat so seems silly to care now.

        I thought the proteins thing was a myth. If you have a diverse enough diet, you should be fine. Just make sure you’re getting nuts, beans, etc.
