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) |
| Beef, pork or lamb | 15 g/day (0-30) |

Braised Red Cabbage and Apple with Roasted Potatoes with quorn burgers
This is the kind of dish I really didn’t like as a kid, but adulthood does strange things to you: somehow, I now love cabbage. The cabbage cooks down into something glossy, sweet-sharp, and deeply savory, while the apples soften just enough to melt into the pan without disappearing completely. Roasted potatoes alongside make it substantial in the best family-table way. It sit very happily next to my Quorn Red Bean Burgers.

Sweet Potato, Paneer and Carrot Curry
This curry leans on sweet potato for body, carrots for gentle sweetness, and paneer for a soft, milky contrast that holds its shape instead of dissolving into the sauce. The onion, garlic, ginger, curry powder, tomato paste and coconut milk cook down into a thick spoon-coating base, so the whole thing feels generous without needing a long list of ingredients or a separate side project disguised as dinner.

Creamy Red Lentil Dal with Tomato and Ginger
This is the kind of dinner that quietly fixes the day: soft red lentils, sweet onion, ginger heat, and a coconut-tomato base that turns silky without much drama. It is cheap, filling, deeply practical, and mostly built from pantry logic rather than the usual supermarket performance art of twelve packaged solutions for one human problem. High in fiber and plant protein, lighter on environmental impact than meat-heavy stews, and still generous enough that nobody asks where the "real" dinner went.

High protein Tex-Mex Tofu Lavash Wraps with Quick Tzatziki, Tomatoes and Red Onion
This is what happens when a Mediterranean fridge and a Tex-Mex spice jar stop pretending they live in separate civilizations. Crisp-edged tofu, cool garlicky tzatziki, sharp red onion and juicy tomatoes get folded into lavash for a fast meal that feels bigger than the effort. It leans plant-forward & keeps the protein solid, perfect for a post work-out meal.

High-Protein Greek Yogurt Lavash
This lavash is thin, warm, and pleasantly chewy, with browned blisters from the pan and a faint tang from Greek yogurt. It lands in that useful middle ground between flatbread and emergency lunch infrastructure: more protein than the usual flour blanket, still simple enough to make at home. Good with dips, wraps, or torn straight from the board while it’s still steaming.
