I need to know the basics and specifics of the Mediterranean Diet--like HOW many oz of nuts, servings of beans?

so all i know is that they eat lots of olive oil, legumes/beans, nuts, whole grains, fruits, veggies, red white, fish, low-fat dairy, and few sweets, and even fewer red meats



what i wanna know it HOW MUCH of this stuff they eat

--all i know is 3-4 eggs per week



Like, how many servings of nuts do they typically eat in a day or week? Beans? How many servings of fruits and veggies? How much wine? How much fat?!?! How many tbsps of olive oil daily??! NOTHING tells me!I need to know the basics and specifics of the Mediterranean Diet--like HOW many oz of nuts, servings of beans?

Hi Britt, Every persons diet will be different so you cannot really speak for a whole section of people, if you go to a Mediterranean website and research some recipes you may get a more rounded idea. If it is a "fad" diet called the Mediterranean Diet, that is just the name because the basic concept of the diet contains the ingredients that the Mediterranean peoples often eat, like olive oil peppers etc. North and south of Italy have totally different diets although they will use a lot of similar ingredients. I hope this helps,all the best. Rab
