Vegan here.  I take a multi-vitamin (which contains B-12), vitamin D, and a DHA supplement (all vegan, of course).  I also throw some maca, chlorella or spirulina, and Greens+ into my smoothie every morning.  During racing season, I sometimes use MSM and/or a berry extract powder that was recommended by my naturopath to help with recovery.

I've been a lacto-ovo vegetarian for 13 years. Lots of practice to be an endurance triathlete and vegetarian but I make sure I emphasize protein at every meal and snack. More so, complete sources of protein or complimentary proteins. I love bread and carbs so I try to balance everything out and eat a little of everything..however, always prioritizing protein (especially whey protein and egg whites). I try to stick with real foods but I take fish oil daily for omegas. As far as my other supps, I try to take them regularly.
Staple protein foods in my diet:
Egg whites
Light soy milk and skim milk
Nuts and organic/natural PB
Cottage cheese
Low sugar yogurt
Veggie meats
Whey protein powder

Supplements:
vitamin B complex
Fish oil
Multi
Tissue rejuvinator (Hammer)

i'm a vegetarian!! I just take a multi vitamin everyday.. and for my meals I try to get a good balance of protein, fat, and carbs.  For protein I eat cottage cheese, beans, and I use whey and soy protein powder.

I also make a smoothie every morning with strawberries, blueberries, yogurt, protein powder, a banana, physillium husks and flaxseed oil.  Before I started tri training, that used to take me to lunch.  Not the case anymore.. but it's still a great breakfast
