- Make sure you're eating enough calories for your body type/size and your activity level.
- Make sure you're getting enough iron.
- Make sure you have a good source of vitamin B12 in your diet or that you take supplements that provide this.

Eat More! This just happened to me this evening. I’ve been traveling, my meals have been grab and go, and tonight when I finally had a chance to eat a “real meal” I found I was light-headed while looking at the menu and knew I needed to order quickly.
For new veg*ns, I also recommend that you carry with you something to eat at all times - a Cliff bar, some peanuts in a baggie, a pb&j tucked in your purse, a clementine - just have something so you don’t have to go without or feel like you have no options.

You don't say how long you've been eating this way-- or what you're eating
You can use an online calculator to keep track for a while, like Cronometer: Track nutrition & count calories
I would recommend B12, but not added iron without knowing you need it!
I'd suggest using an online nutrition calculator - see silva's post. A vitamin B12 supplement can be purchased online or in a health food shop or maybe in a pharmacy. It really depends on where you live.

Hi Hallie. I'm glad to hear that you became a vegetarian. I've been vegetarian for 4 years now and I'm making the transition for a vegan diet. I'm also creating a new YouTube channel. I hope you can find helpful information for your process in my new video. I'll be uploading content every week, including a vegan recipe on thursdays. Check my channel on Youtube: The vegan creation.
