I need information on teen veganism nutrition...?

I am 15 and i have been vegan for 3 weeks now... I am really worried about not getting enough proteins and vitamins and such... I tried to search up just vegan teen information but so far i have not been successful in finding a good website... And my dad says vegans get their proteins and stuff from dairy and eggs (but in actuality that would be a octo-lavo-vegetarian)... so please give me websites so i can show him and so i know what to get... Thanks in advance!!!

Vegetarians eat animal produce such as honey, eggs, cheese and other dairy.
Vegans don't eat any of the above. But good protein sources for vegans are meals that incorporate grains and beans (beans on toast for example), pulses, soy, quinoa etc. You need to eat these sorts of things together to give you the complimentary proteins that will then build the other missing amino acids.
Pasta with a sauce made with soy mince for example would give you protein.
Check out the Vegan society for further info.

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine has a Vegetarian Starter Kit which should answer most of your nutrition questions-

And Vegetarian Teen is a good site-

just be-cuzz your a teen does not mean that your no diffrent then others. im a vegan and im only 14 and i been a vegan for a few months .i get all of my vitamins from vitamins pills and i get my proteins from B12

what i recommend to you is participate in the webinar by Dr Yinka Davies on October 7, it specializes in nutrition for kids and teen. You might learn A lot of valuable information

I think you're hung up on the word "teen", your nutrition information isn't any different from anyone else's. Try looking it up again. Vegans get their protein from beans and nuts.
