Beans are the answer to your problem. They are cheap, great for dinner, and have a lot of good nutrients. Buy them in a package, soak them, cook them, profit! They're delicious and easy.

I see a lot of people try vegan diets and fail. The reason for this is they're usually eating junk (no offense). My father in law tried it and mostly had diet mountain dews, white bread, cereal, and potatoes. Then when he started having nutritional problems he goes "Oh I need to go back to eating fish, I feel so weak." People can't eat potato chips and soda and be all like "VEGAN DIETS DON'T WORK!" Because a diet of potato chips, soda, and steak is so much better, LMAO!

All diets, no matter vegan, vegetarian, paleo, whatever should be supplementing with B12 and D. Most people do not live in a sunny enough area and see enough sunshine to make their own adequate D. That's usually about it unless you have a nutritional deficiency. What you eat should cover all other gaps including calcium, iron, C, B's, magnesium, etc.
