unlimited non-starchy vegetables (kale, tomatoes, cucumber, spinach, asparagus …)
3 to 3.5 oz (85-100 g) protein (meat, fish, eggs, beans …)
1/2 to 1 cup grains and starchy carbohydrates (quinoa, rice, spelt, potatoes, parsnips …)
1/4 cup nuts/seeds or 1 to 2 tbsp healthy oils and fats (almonds, sesame seeds, olive oil, coconut oil, walnuts …)
unlimited herbs and spices (ginger, turmeric, cayenne pepper, parsley, basil …)
