Vegan means "no animal products", including dairy products or eggs. It can be a very healthy diet or not, depending on what is included in the diet. For complete protein, it is best that vegans eat 3 or more kinds of beans / grains / seeds / nuts per day. Any one kind of plant protein would be deficient in some amino acids, though soy isn't bad and hemp is very good as amino acid sources.
Like everyone else, vegans need to make sure they have enough fibre in their diet, that the calory counts are appropriate to their activity level, and that they eat enough green stuff to get their vitamins. A solid diet of chocolate bars and chips is no healthier for a vegan than a carnivore, but a properly constructed vegan diet can be an excellent and healthy way to eat.
At our store, we stock a lot of vegan products, including vegan takeout foods. The ingredients that you need and the meals that help you cope with busy times, are available at Eat Healthy Foods.
Here are some good links describing the design of a healthy vegan diet.
