Cheegan (Chicken, Cheese, Vegan) - a start up diet plan which encompasses all necessary nutrients for a healthy, well-balanced human diet.

Cheegans eat chicken products, cheese (no more than 2 oz. a week), and adds the vegan diet.

Half of the Cheegan diet is vegan food while they include chicken products to receive ample protein to create a well-balanced diet.

While this diet is new, it is growing each day. The epicenter of the movement started in two places, Lawrence, KS and Portland, OR. Cheegan meals have become more common on menus throughout the United States, but the biggest supporter of the movement is Chick-fil-a.
