Differences in food intake and diet quality in vegans, vegetarians and omnivores in Belgium

Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: Meat, meat products and other animal-derived foods are major sources of certain vitamins, minerals and amino-acids Consequently, there is a risk that when animal products are insufficiently substituted by nutritious plant-based foods, a vegetarian or vegan diet could possibly lead to inadequacies for certain nutrients. Little is known about the quality of the diet of Belgian vegans and (semi-)vegetarians in comparison with Belgian omnivores and their compliance with the food based dietary guidelines (FBDG)
