It can take several tries to successfully go vegan. The mistake most people make is they don't get enough calories. Try soy milk. It's delicious, and it's high in protein, which means it'll keep you full longer than almond milk. I especially love soy yogurt. Snack on nuts: pistachios, walnuts, and hazelnuts. Eat tofu. One of my favorite snacks is tofu with a little bit of soy sauce and some chopped scallion on top.

Eating animal products destroys one's taste buds. Fortunately, taste buds regenerate in about a week. So if you manage to be vegan for a week, you will find that vegetables suddenly taste much better than they ever did.

I would cut out the eggs if I were you. They're filled with cholesterol. Try having oatmeal instead. You can add two teaspoons of ground flax seed, which will give you omega-3 fatty acids and protect you from cancer. You can use maple syrup as sweetener. Look up "overnight oats" if you don't already know the recipe. Good luck!
