Iron deficiency. Most people get the majority of their iron intake through meats. However, it is not difficult to get, considering most vegetables contain iron.

The other thing you may encounter deficiency in is vitamin B-12, or omega 3, because those are found in only meat or eggs respectively. However these do not need to be taken in great quantities, and can be found easily in many vegan-oriented fortified foods. I use nutritional yeast for my B-12, and flax for my Omega-3.

What is best source of omega 3 for vegans?

There are three important omega-3 fatty acids:

  • Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is a short-chain (18-carbon) omega-3 fatty acid, which is found in many vegetables, beans, nuts, seeds, and fruits. There are relatively large amounts in soy, walnuts, flax seeds, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, mustard seeds, and chia seeds. Brazil nuts and wheat germ also contain significant amounts. It's also found in green leafy vegetables, grains, and spirulina. Your body cannot make its own ALA, so you need to eat some of these foods each day. Your body can convert ALA to EPA (eiocosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).
  • Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is a long-chain (20-carbon) omega-3 fatty acid, which is found in very small amounts in microalgae, leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables, and walnuts. Your body can produce EPA out of ALA and out of DHA.
  • Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a long-chain (22-carbon) omega-3 fatty acid, which is found in very small amounts in spirulina, leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables, and walnuts. Your body can convert EPA into DHA; however, a high intake of linoleic acid may suppress your body's ability to convert alpha-linolenic acid to DHA. Avoid refined oils, especially sunflower, safflower, and corn oil, and use tiny amounts of oils containing alpha-linolenic acid such as soy and walnut oils, which will assist your body in making more DHA.

Is salt allowed on a Daniel fast?

That would be up to the individual based upon interpretations of some translations of Daniel 10:1-2 - the 'pleasant foods' where some would say yes and others no. Eating bread - leavened or unleavened is also part of this equation.The Daniel fast is based upon Daniel 1:12. This is primarily a vegan diet of fruits, vegetables and water only.

Combining both Scriptures of Daniel noted above, we eliminate processed foods, artificial or chemically altered foods. No animal foods, alcohol, or 'pleasant foods' like sweeteners, honey or agave or maple syrups. Over time, people made it a tradition to avoid bread - anything made with yeast, baking powder/soda, etc. But this has no known biblical support.
