Balance is important. And, as I’ve said before, there are unhealthy vegans. It’s a good idea to keep track of the type of foods you’re getting. Here’s a great food pyramid I got from http://www.veganfoodpyramid.com/
Please note there are some variations of the vegan pyramid floating around. This pyramid says you should get most of your nutrition from whole grains. I say, when in doubt, get most of your nutrients from fruits, veggies and whole grains. And, though they’re quite good for you, use oils, nuts and nut butters more sparingly. And, of course, don’t overdo the processed products.
Ultimately, you should set out to get a variety of foods in your diet. And become good friends with the produce section!

Hi Selena,
Good luck! I think that’s a wonderful challenge!
As far as going without chicken goes, I’d experiment with faux chicken items to help you transition- Boca chick patties and nuggets, and Morningstar chick’n strips are pretty great. But there are lots of faux meat products out there and new ones being made all the time, so I encourage you to explore
