Just read this on the BBC website, which in turn is taken from the Vegan Society:

What to eat every day:
What do they mean by a "portion" exactly? I'm a little confused because it doesn't seem to say on the website. And how about sea vegetables? And what are the best "green leafy" veggies to eat for iron?
- 2 to 4 servings of vegetables, plus 2 to 3 servings of vegetables from the 'green leafy' sub-group
- 6 to 10 servings of bread, pasta, rice and fortified cereals
- 2 to 3 servings of beans, pulses and protein foods
- 1 to 2 servings of nuts and seed
- 2 to 3 teaspoons of oils and fats
- 1 to 2 servings of fruits, plus 1 to 2 servings from the dried fruits sub-group
- 3 servings from the fortified non-dairy sub-group (such as soya milk)
- 8 glasses of water daily (more if very active)
