There are no nutrients that are exclusively available via meat/dairy. The only thing you might miss out on is B12, but that’s usually supplemented in a lot of the vegan substitutes/junk food alternatives already. Anything else you’ll get pretty easily by simply eating your regular veggies, beans, legumes etc.

If you truly care about nutrients, then get your blood tested and have them check what you are actually lacking, and then adjust or supplement your diet accordingly. Chances are that you are already low on something even when eating animal products.

Thanks for the advice, iirc I got my blood tested when I was doing some allergy tests so I’ll look at those and see what my levels were. I do know that I’m low on vitamin d cause I take a supplement for that

Exactly. Can get everything but b12 from plants. Can’t get fiber without plants though.

  Tempeh and nutritional yeast are a good start there, but you may need supplements, yes.
