The number of courses shouldn't scare you. It's just another way of organizing meals. I know most of us suffer from time constraints, but I've seen Mediterranean diet menu plans that are so adapted to other country tastes and habits that they don't seem Mediterranean at all. I sometimes wonder, what's the point? Anyway, below you'll find complete Mediterranean diet menu samples that you can use as they are or adapt to your personal needs. In my daily Mediterranean diet menu plan you'll find a myriad meal ideas from simple to more elaborate dishes. In this Mediterranean diet menu samples I focus on easy and quick recipes, but always keeping in mind to design a proper meal you can call Mediterranean. Easy as the recipes may be, if you want to eat well, there's no way around, you have to cook. How many courses in a Mediterranean diet menu?A typical daily Mediterranean diet menu has three courses. Instead of piling everything in one plate you eat one thing after the other, thus you eat slower and digest better. Very often, you add a simple salad dish at the beginning, as a side dish or accompaniment. Most Mediterranean still eat like this even if they don't go home for lunch. Take Barcelona, for instance. It's a big city full of people with busy lives. Still, most people manage to eat a three-course lunch at home or at one of the many average restaurants offering a daily menu that costs from 9 to 15 euro. Other people who like to eat well prefer to cook in the weekend and freeze the lunches for the five days of the working week. In the Mediterranean basin most people can't conceive to have a sandwich for lunch on work days as some do in Northern European countries or North America. Kids that stay at school for lunch also eat a three-course meal. Schools publish the menus so that parents know that their children eat properly. Sample of Mediterranean diet menus
