Don't worry about eating too much when starting out. Plant-based foods are less dense in calories, and therefore you can eat more. I recommend researching online two options for every meal until you figure everything out. (two breakfasts, lunches, dinners) Supplement B12 and vitamin D if you don't get much sun. You can find plant based vitamin D in things like almond milk. Make sure you are eating plenty of seeds and nuts (things like chia can be added to almost anything) and make sure you're eating enough CALORIES. This is number one. Majority of people stop because they're not eating enough. Research online for more information. When creating your plate, ensure that you are doing the following:
>getting enough calories
>half of your plate should be starch based (noodles, potatoes, whole grains, etc.)
>At least one serving of both fruits and vegetables.

Whole (nothing sifted out) plant foods

Make sure you're getting enough calories but it looks fine.

You'd have a higher risk of cancer and other ailments than if you ate a wider variety of whole plant foods.

Milk has actual estrogen. It's a growth hormone, and that's what milk is for, gaining hundreds of pounds fast. Multis aren't very effective because they're formulated to not be excessive on top of a balanced diet, and nutrient isolates often have different or opposite effects outside the context of the foods in which they normally occur. There is no effortless way to eat optimally. You need variety.

Rice is high in arsenic. You should be eating a pound of broccoli a day, and you'll still be pretty far from your mineral targets.

The social group you belong might exclude people with a vegan diet or your brain just don't know any source of nutrients better than meat, but it could quickly learn. Try being whole-food vegan for 2 weeks.

I have been vegan for a year and never felt better. Just eat whatever unrefined whole food in any amount and get B12 supplements (which you should take anyway even if you eat meat since our stomach isn't acidic enough to absorb the vitamin from animal proteins).
