1. Restaurant Customization Hacks
Ordering as a veggan is straightforward when you know how to leverage vegan-friendly bases and add egg protein:
- Mexican Cuisines: Order a vegetarian burritos or bowl (beans, rice, fajita veggies, guacamole) and request a poached or fried egg on top.
- Asian Cuisines: Request vegetable stir-fries or ramen made with plant-based broth, holding the dairy, and adding a soft-boiled egg.
- Cafes & Breakfast Spots: Ask for vegan avocado toast or veggie grain bowls topped with pasture-raised eggs.
2. Communicating Your Diet Socially
Simple Explanation
Explain your diet concisely: “I follow a plant-based diet, but I also eat eggs!” This avoids confusion without requiring long technical explanations.
