30-Day Mediterranean Diet Meal Plan for Beginners

by

If you’re interested in following the Mediterranean diet but are unsure where to start, you’ve come to the right place. In this 30-day Mediterranean meal plan, we include a whole month of delicious and nutritious recipes that are perfect for beginners. Whether you’re new in the kitchen or just looking to simplify your routine, this meal plan can work for everyone. 

Why This Meal Plan Is Great for You

To tailor this meal plan to beginners, we chose recipes with shorter instructions and simple ingredient lists and included plenty of meal-prep tips and callouts for leftovers to make for a more manageable routine. While choosing more simple recipes was a priority, we certainly didn’t skimp on nutrition (or flavor). Each day provides at least 60 grams of protein and 28 grams of heart-healthy fiber, though most days come in quite a bit higher than that. We set this meal plan at 1,500 calories per day and included modifications for 1,200 and 2,000 calories per day for those with different calorie needs. As with all meal plans, this is meant to be an example of a healthy eating routine. Make adjustments as desired to fit your routine and taste preferences. 

Frequently Asked Questions


  • ​​Is it OK to mix and match meals if there is one I do not like?

    Absolutely, we have tons of Mediterranean recipes you can substitute for any recipe you do not like. Most dinners are between 400 – 500 calories, with a few outliers. For daily totals, we aimed for 1,500 calories, at least 60 grams of protein, 28 g of fiber and no more than 2,300 mg of sodium. If you’re closely monitoring calories, protein, fiber or any other nutrients, you may want to choose a substitute with similar nutrition numbers.


  • Can I eat the same breakfast or lunch every day?

    If eating the same breakfast or lunch every day fits your routine better, that works! Each breakfast is approximately 300 to 400 calories while each lunch spans about 350 to 450 calories. We provided several breakfast and lunch ideas throughout the month to show different options, but you can opt to repeat your favorites if that’s preferred.


  • Is the Mediterranean diet healthy?

    Yes, the Mediterranean diet is a nutrient-rich way of eating. It emphasizes whole grains, fruits, vegetables, healthy fats, and legumes, as well as cooking more meals at home. Research links the Mediterranean diet to a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, improved heart health, reduced risk of metabolic syndrome and even improved cognitive function.

What is the Mediterranean Diet?

The Mediterranean diet is considered one of the healthiest ways of eating due to its emphasis on fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains and fish. While it doesn’t recommend eating high amounts of processed foods or refined grains, it also doesn’t set strict guidelines, which makes it more of a lifestyle than a rigid eating plan.
