A Mediterranean Meal Plan for Heart Disease
After a CAD diagnosis, food becomes part of your treatment. The Mediterranean pattern has the strongest trial evidence in cardiology for preventing repeat events — your plan turns it into a concrete week of meals and a grocery list, not a pamphlet.
How your weekly plan adapts
- Saturated fat under 7% of calories, zero trans fat
- Fatty fish 2–3× weekly for omega-3s (trout and salmon — never sardines)
- Soluble fiber daily: oats, legumes, apples
- Red meat capped at twice a week; deep-fried food stays off the plan
- Olive oil and nuts as the fat backbone
- Sodium-conscious by default; coordinates with statins and blood-pressure medications
What a day can look like
Illustrative examples — your actual plan is built from your full profile (conditions, medications, allergies, budget, and cuisine preferences).
- Breakfast: Oatmeal with walnuts and berries
- Lunch: White-bean and tuna salad with olive oil, tomatoes, greens
- Dinner: Grilled trout, farro, roasted vegetables

Common questions
How strong is the evidence for Mediterranean eating after CAD?
It’s the best-studied dietary pattern in cardiology — major trials showed substantially fewer cardiovascular events versus low-fat control diets.
Can I still eat red meat?
Capped at about twice a week with lean cuts. Daily red meat raises ApoB, the particle number that drives plaque.
Does this work with my statin and BP meds?
Yes — and the plan layers in medication-specific rules, like keeping grapefruit away from statins.
