As a vegan myself, I can say that one of the big things for your character would be label-watching. Most baked goods are made with eggs, so if he has a big aversion to it, he'll probably eat specialty breads/cereals/cakes/cookies/etc. Baked goods are probably my biggest issue when it comes to personally not eating eggs, though if I had an oven it wouldn't be too big of a deal (there are egg replacements that can go into baked goods without any extra effort).
Granola cereals tend to avoid eggs, as do potato breads. Wheat waffles have a tendency to not have eggs (it'd be believable), but you can find a lot of the same products that egg-eaters enjoy if the character has access to the internet/health food stores. There are plenty of egg-free granola bars, muffins, and other 'to-go' foods.
I'm a big fan of tofu with meals, though I also love beans (black beans ftw). I also enjoy spaghetti with wheat pastas (quinoa pastas also don't have eggs). Skillets are a great option -- you can toss whatever you have in the fridge into a pan and call it good. There are lots of veggie-dog options, too -- veggie burgers, veggie hot dogs, veggie 'meat' crumbles, veggie sausages. There are several companies who make tv dinners for veggies/vegans, which include things like burritos, lasagna, etc.
Oranges are pretty popular in winter where I live (MI), but that'll depend on why you ask. Do you want your character to find local foods (cause in NY in winter, that'll be nearly impossible), or do you just want something 'seasonal'? Pomegranates are pretty winter-oriented, as are figs.
