Meal Plan for a Pollotarian
A pollotarian (aka a pollovegetarian or a pollo-vegetarian) is someone who will not eat the flesh of any red meat mammals, but does include chicken, turkey and other poultry. They may or may not also exclude fish, seafood or products like eggs and dairy from their diet. Reasons for exclusion vary from taste preference to ethical issues.
The following example meal plan has been designed for a pollotarian who includes all poultry, milk, dairy products and eggs, but not fish or seafood (see Plan for a Pesce-Pollotarian). It is nutritionally balanced for weight maintenance.
Like all plans, it is merely an example and needs to be adapted to suit an individual's own lifestyle, daily routine and nutritional requirements. Use this to give you an idea of what are healthy nutritious pollotarian foods to include, but don't forget to vary your food choices and to drink plenty of water through the day.
