It sounds like a lot, but try to get at least 8 servings of whole grains or root vegetables such as potatoes and sweet potatoes a day. One serving is half a cup, such as oatmeal or whole grain rice, or a small sweet potato. Eight servings may sound like a lot, but 1 cup of oatmeal for breakfast, a sandwich with two slices of wholemeal spelled bread for lunch, and four small potatoes for dinner and you're already on your 8 servings.
-
At least 1 cup of beans per day. You need 2 to 3 servings of legumes every day. One serving is half a cup of cooked beans or 50 grams of vegetarian meat substitute. Beans are not only a great source of protein, they are also very high in fiber that boosts your gut flora and keeps your blood sugar stable throughout the day.

As long as the vegetables are not topped with a fatty dressing or sauce, you can eat as many servings as you like from this group.

Although fruit is healthy, it is better not to take more than 2 to at most 3 pieces of fruit. Fruit contains a lot of fruit sugar, which is not too healthy for your liver if you eat containers full of fruit every day. However, it also contains a lot of nutrients, so 2 pieces a day is completely fine.

Try to plan your meals within these food groups as much as possible. In addition, you can also add small amounts of nuts, seeds and avocados every other day. Avoid sugar and added fats. To sweeten dishes you can use small amounts of honey or stevia.
-
If you are still hungry, eat more vegetables. You can eat vegetables as much as you want. If you're not getting it all, that's fine, but - even if you don't need to count calories - make sure you're getting at least 1,200 calories a day.
But how can I get enough ...
-
Protein: Vegetable foods have enough protein. The recommended amount of protein in a diet is 10-12 percent of the total number of calories. Most vegetables, legumes and grains contain this amount or more. Excellent protein sources include beans or lentils (especially in combination with rice or other grains) and meat substitutes such as vegetarian burgers.
-
Calcium: Vegetable sources of calcium are also everywhere. Good sources of calcium include broccoli, kale, beans, figs, and sesame seeds. You can also add some low-fat yogurt, but try to keep this to a minimum.
-
Vitamin B12: Vitamin B12 can only be found in animal products and fortified foods, such as many breakfast cereals and soy milk. You will certainly not develop a deficiency in three weeks, but you can possibly take a multivitamin. In addition, you can eat a small amount of liver once a week, because liver contains a lot of nutrients and 100 grams gives you enough vitamin B12 for a whole week.

Now that you know what foods you can eat and what nutrients you need, it's time to figure out how to cook delicious low-fat meals. Below you will find an overview of meal ideas for breakfast, lunch, dinner, desserts and snacks.
