Healthy Eating Habits Infographic: Vegan Bulking Surplus

Educational infographic poster titled "Vegan Bulking Calorie Surplus" in portrait layout, designed as a modern dashboard with sharp, highly readable text labels and clean information hierarchy. Create a polished nutrition education infographic about a vegan calorie surplus for muscle-gain meal planning, with clearly marked illustrative values only and no medical or weight-loss claims. Include 6 numbered components arranged in a clear top-to-bottom sequence with arrows and dotted connector lines, plus small sequence numbers in green circles.

1. **heading:** "Calorie Surplus"; **caption:** "Eat slightly more energy than your body uses to support growth."; **visual:** dashboard-style balance graphic with a cream background card, a central calorie meter, left side showing a smaller "Calories Out" gauge, right side showing a slightly larger "Calories In" gauge, upward arrow indicating surplus, subtle vegan food icons around it such as oats, rice, beans, tofu, avocado.

2. **heading:** "Example Intake"; **caption:** "Example only: daily calories are shown as an illustrative surplus."; **visual:** large donut chart labeled clearly with the word "Example", showing a total daily calorie ring and a smaller inner ring for maintenance vs surplus, with a neat legend card, tiny spark bars, and a callout badge that says "Example" prominently so the values are understood as illustrative.

3. **heading:** "Macro Split"; **caption:** "Balance protein, carbs and fats across the day."; **visual:** three segmented macro tiles or stacked bars, each clearly color-coded: protein with tofu, lentils, seitan icon; carbs with rice, oats, potatoes icon; fats with nuts, seeds, olive oil, peanut butter icon; include the word "Example" near the chart title and show simple percentage or gram placeholders as illustrative dashboard metrics.

4. **heading:** "Vegan Food Base"; **caption:** "Build meals from legumes, grains, soy foods, nuts, seeds, fruit and vegetables."; **visual:** organized ingredient grid on a dashboard card with neat illustrated icons: bowl of lentils, chickpeas, tofu cubes, tempeh slices, quinoa, wholegrain pasta, nut butter jar, chia seeds, banana, berries, leafy greens; use small tag labels and minimalist dividers.

5. **heading:** "Meal Timing"; **caption:** "Spread meals and snacks to make higher intake easier."; **visual:** horizontal daily timeline with 4 to 6 meal points connected by a dotted line, each point illustrated with a plate, smoothie, snack box, or bowl; include small arrows showing progression through the day and mini macro symbols on each meal card.

6. **heading:** "Portion Upgrades"; **caption:** "Increase energy with practical add-ons like sauces, spreads and dense staples."; **visual:** side-by-side meal comparison card: left plate as standard vegan meal, right plate as bulked version with added tahini drizzle, extra rice, nuts, avocado, and smoothie; use plus-sign callouts and arrows pointing to each calorie-dense addition, with a tiny badge marked "Example".

Add a slim footer legend panel with icons for protein, carbs, fats, fiber and hydration as neutral educational references only, avoiding any medical or weight-loss messaging. The composition should visually align with the search intent of healthy eating habits infographic without rendering that phrase as on-image text. Use fresh green and cream palette with accents of sage, mint, avocado green, soft beige, and charcoal text. Overall mood: clean, energizing, approachable, data-driven, wellness-focused, modern dashboard aesthetic. Use magazine-grade editorial illustration, vector-clean lines, no photographic textures. All text MUST be written in English (array). Every heading, label, caption, legend and metric name in the image must be in English — not English. Spell each English word correctly using English characters and diacritics. Numbers stay as digits, no watermarks Illustrative macros / calories — clearly labeled "example". No medical or weight-loss claims.
