Traditionally Mediterranean diet consists of whole grain foods, fresh vegetables, fruit, olive oil, beans and nuts. Apart from that cheese, yogurt, eggs, fish and meat make up a much smaller percentage of the foods eaten. The plant foods consist of high intake of vitamins, minerals and other food components like antioxidants.

Natural fiber intake is also high. Red meat consist of iron, zinc and several other vitaminsis used less than in the United States. This isn’t a problem, though, because many vegetables, beans and grains also supply these same nutrients.

The Mediterranean diet recommends only [u]2 servings[/u] of dairy food per day. The USDA recommends [u]2-3 servings[/u], and the recommended daily calcium intake is 1000 milligrams or more for some age groups. Better you can consult the doctor for the calcium suppliments.
