Hi Ayn,

Every Mediterranean diet meal should include choices from each food group. For breakfast you would not eat just a bowl of oatmeal or a piece of toast. Instead, you should also include fruit, and maybe nuts or low-fat yogurt. A example of a Mediterranean breakfast is: Beverage of your choice, yogurt sweetened with honey, fresh fruit, and some simple hearty bread or pita without butter or margarine.
