You could try inputting your food intake for a week into an online prog like Cronometer which would give you an idea which (if any) vitamins/minerals you might be deficient in.

No fruit and no dairy? That doesn't sound very healthy....

what health benefits do you get from dairy once you are a fully grown adult?

How did British people survive before we started importing oranges and other citrus fruits? Oh and milking dairy cows?

Don't worry too much Ton - many of our required vitamins and minerals can be obtained from a wide variety of vegetables but it is worth checking you've got all bases covered.

Calcium. Think the leafy greens should cover that.

Maybe get a blood test to check vitamins?

i feel ok, just that i was talking to a bloke, he seemed to think i would be missing some vitals.
eat a mountain of veg a week, and fish and eggs, which cover most of the essentials i think.
