The Mediterranean diet emphasizes plant-based foods such as legumes, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. It also includes moderate amounts of fish and seafood, and limited amounts of red meat and dairy products. Therefore, substituting legumes for cheeses is a good choice for Theodore to follow a Mediterranean diet pattern. Drinking wine in moderation may be a part of the Mediterranean diet but it is not necessarily required or recommended for a college student like Theodore. Pork and lamb are not the preferred sources of protein in the Mediterranean diet, while eggs and poultry should be consumed in moderation.
