The EAT-Lancet Way
Good for you. Good for the planet.
A simple, science-backed way of eating that puts more plants on your plate and keeps animal foods in balance.
Built by EAT-Lancet scientists, not us in a climate panic, this framework asks a blunt question: how do we feed a growing population without wrecking human health or the planet? Their answer is flexible food ranges that push plants forward, keep animal foods in balance, and leave Earth slightly less cooked.
Mostly Plants
| Vegetables | 300 g/day (200-600) |
|---|---|
| Fruits | 200 g/day (100-300) |
| Whole grains | 210 g/day |
| Legumes | 75 g/day (0-150) |
| Tree nuts & peanuts | 50 g/day (0-75) |
| Starchy roots & tubers | 50 g/day (0-100) |
Animal-sourced foods
| Dairy products | 250 g/day (0-500) |
|---|---|
| Chicken or other poultry | 30 g/day (0-60) |
| Fish & shellfish | 30 g/day (0-100) |
| Eggs | 15 g/day (0-25) |

⏱ 57 minSkillet Flatbreads with Hummus, Smoky Tofu and Cucumber
Warm whole-wheat flatbreads hold creamy homemade hummus, smoky pan-seared tofu, and a sharp cucumber-tomato salad. The tofu adds a proper protein centre without turning the plate into a stack of beige carbohydrates.
⏱ 51 minWhole Wheat and Lupin Flatbreads
Soft skillet flatbreads with a lightly nutty flavor and browned spots from a hot pan. Lupin flour replaces part of the whole wheat flour, adding protein while the baking powder keeps the breads tender without yeast.
⏱ 37 minWhite Bean Mac and Cheese
Whole wheat macaroni is folded into a sharp cheddar sauce thickened with blended cannellini beans. The beans make the sauce glossy and substantial while leaving enough whole for a soft, creamy bite.
⏱ 82 minDate-Sweetened Skyr Brownies with Lupin Flour
A dense, moist cocoa brownie with a soft centre and a lightly set top. Date paste brings the sweetness, while skyr, lupin flour and peanut butter give the batter a fuller texture than a standard flour-and-sugar version.
⏱ 13 minChocolate Peanut Butter Silken Tofu Porridge
Cocoa and peanut butter give this oat porridge a dark, nutty depth, while silken tofu makes the texture notably smooth. It stays warm and spoonable rather than setting like mousse.
