6 Week Easy Vegan Meal Plan
Hi, I'm Derek from Simnett Nutrition, and I created this meal plan to help make eating vegan simple, balanced, and enjoyable. Whether your goal is to get more organized with your meals or work toward a body composition goal, these plans are here to give you structure without making vegan nutrition feel complicated.
Each plan is built around satisfying vegan meals with plenty of protein, carbohydrates, healthy fats, fibre, and whole plant foods, so you can feel confident that you're eating in a way that supports your health, fitness, and lifestyle.
I created this meal plan to help you:
- 1Eat approximately 2250 calories per day
- 2Reduce daily cooking time
- 3Build repeatable, sustainable eating habits
- 4Feel confident preparing simple and nourishing vegan meals

How the Plan Works
Introduction
How the Meal
Plan Works
Each week follows the same simple pattern:
Day 1
Batch Cook Day
Batch cook lunchBatch cook dinner
Day 1 is your batch cook day. You'll be in the kitchen a bit more this day preparing for the week, so I suggest doing this on your day off or when you have more time. You will prepare 2 main recipes that will cover your lunch and dinner meals for the first few days of the week.
Days 2–3
Leftovers + Assembly
Leftover lunchLeftover dinner
You will be reheating and assembling your lunch and dinner from Day 1 leftovers. I've tried my best to make the breakfast recipes quick and easy. Some of them can be prepared the night before to save you time if needed.
Day 4
Transition Day
New recipe
A 'transition' day with a new dinner recipe that will cover Thursday lunch or dinner (sometimes Fridays too depending on recipe size).
Day 5
Day 4 Leftovers
Leftover meals
You will enjoy Day 4 leftovers for either lunch or dinner and make the rest of the meals, although they will be easy to prepare.
Days 6–7
Fresh Easy Meals
Fresh recipes
Enjoy fresh, easy to prepare meals. The week then starts over on Sunday (Day 1).
💡
Derek's tip: I find that this structure keeps cooking manageable while maintaining meal variety. Read through the entire week before you shop to check what you already have on hand.

Portion Guidance
Introduction
Portion Guidance &
Calorie Adjustment
The calories and protein targets are based on the listed portions given for 1 serving of each meal (some recipes make 2–3 servings). If you substitute ingredients or add/remove them, this will affect the macros and calories of the meal.
To Add Calories (if needed)
- ✓Enjoy a piece of fruit (this is my go to)
- ✓Add 1–2 cups non-starchy veggies to your meals (this adds volume but little calories)
- ✓Add ¼ cup cooked grains or ½–1 baked or steamed potato to a meal
- ✓Add ¼–½ avocado (57–114 calories) or 2 tbsp nuts or seeds (approx. 100 calories) to a meal
Hydration
I encourage you to drink water freely throughout the day. Try to drink at least 2 litres of water a day at minimum. You will need to drink more if you are active and/or sweat a lot.
Coffee and tea are fine to drink. Use a small amount of plant milk if desired. If you use sweetener in your tea or coffee, make sure to track it as it can add up! For example, 1 tsp of table sugar or maple syrup is approx. 16 calories and 4.5g carbs.
Important Note on Calorie Calculations
You may observe minor discrepancies when attempting to cross reference total caloric values by applying the standard Atwater general factors (the 4-4-9 rule: protein and carbs are 4 calories per gram, and fat is 9 calories per gram). This variance is both normal and scientifically expected. The nutritional data in this meal plan is derived from Cronometer, which utilizes the Atwater specific factor system — accounting for the unique thermodynamic properties of specific whole plant foods and adjusting for indigestible dietary fiber. Because complex carbohydrates and soluble fibers do not yield a net energy availability of 4 kcal/g post digestion, the algorithm in Cronometer subtracts this non-metabolizable energy. The final values displayed represent the most clinically accurate estimation of actual metabolizable energy and net fuel value. Minor variations may also occur due to ingredient brands and calorie/macro rounding.

Supplements
Introduction
Supplement Considerations
A well planned vegan diet can provide the nutrients needed for overall health, but there are a few nutrients that deserve extra attention.
Vitamin B12
People following a vegan diet should make sure they have a reliable source of vitamin B12 from fortified foods and/or a supplement. This is the most critical nutrient to supplement on a vegan diet.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D may be worth considering, especially for those with limited sun exposure, during winter months, or for anyone who does not regularly consume vitamin D fortified foods.
Creatine (Optional)
Several recipes include an optional serving of creatine. Creatine is a well-researched supplement that may support athletic performance and muscle building. It is optional and not required for the plan.
Please note: This meal plan is intended for general education and meal planning purposes only. Supplement needs can vary based on age, location, sun exposure, pregnancy or breastfeeding status, medical conditions, medications, blood work, and overall dietary intake. For specific supplement amounts, follow the guidance of your doctor, pharmacist, registered dietitian, qualified health care provider, and/or the public health recommendations in your country.
