for breakfast, you could have scrambled eggs with a salad of cucumbers and lettuce and avocado, olive oil.

lunch/dinner of chicken and quinoa or brown rice, and some vegetables . are cucumbers and lettuce the only ones you are allowed?

this is very basic, I hope you get more creative answers

Thank you so much for answering! Even if its basic. I'm just so burnt out with trying to put it together that any menu ideas help. Here are the veg etc that I know are especially beneficial for me: Okra, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, garlic, onions, red peppers, nori, plums, prunes, figs,
Eggs are not amazing but 1 a day is allowed. And ooops- avocado & coconut products are not so good.
Tomatoes, chocolate, honey, cocoa are ok but not specifically good for me. I'll see if I can think of others.

-quinoa salad

1 cup quinoa
2 cups water
2 ripe avocado, quartered, then cut into chunks
2 ripe plum tomatoes, quartered, then cut into chunks
1/2 red onion, sliced
2 scallions, sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons lime or lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Rinse quinoa very well in a fine mesh colander or strainer, to remove the bitter coating. Set aside.
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a 2 quart saucepan. Add rinsed quinoa. Return to a boil, then lower heat and simmer, covered, for 10-15 minutes, until all water is absorbed. When done, the quinoa appears soft and translucent, and the germ ring will be visible along the outside edge of the quinoa. Remove from heat, fluff, cover and let it stand for 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Combine avocado, tomato, red onion, scallions, and garlic. Add cooled quinoa. Drizzle with lemon or lime juice and olive oil. Season very generously with salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently.

-or just quinoa with mashed and salted avocado, really good too (greeneye's idea)

-sweet potato fries - cut into 1/4" fries. drizzle with olive oil and spread on cookie sheet. bake 40 min at 400. sprinkle with kosher salt

-dark ground chicken meatballs over avocado relish
