Same with our breakfasts; I do not know many people who eat steak and eggs for breakfast regularly. Those I know who do eat a protein heavy breakfast are mainly farmers, as I’m from a dairy farming community. Not that there aren’t any office workers out there who eat a heavy breakfast daily, but it’s not nearly as common as drinking a coffee and eating a piece of toast, a handful of nuts, a piece of fruit, or a granola bar.

Hi Julie! The Mediterranean diet has a normal amount of carbs and relies on great quantities of vegetable, fruits and healthy fats and proteins. We don’t only eat pizza, pasta and bread. Pizza is something we may have once every couple of weeks when we go out and pasta and bread, well… it’s all down to portions, really! Also, you can easily eat a mediterranean diet cutting out a lot of carbs. I personally only eat past a couple of times a week (and many Italians do that, believe me) and fill up with vegetables, pulses and fruit. I hope that helps a little!
