The meals and  times outlined below are suggestive only. They are restricted to 2/5 of the day, leaving a 14 hour fasting window. The two 5 hour periods have different protocols. One is for fattier foods and non starchy carbs like salads, stir fries, avocados, flax oil, tofu, garbonzos. The other 5 hour period is starch heavy, with little added fats. The order of their observance depends upon the time of day most energy is needed. If heavy work or exercise is in the morning, then the starch period is observed in the morning, if more energy is needed in the afternoon then the fattier block of time is in the morning and the carb heavy meals are moved to the afternoon. (Underweight individuals might want to mix fattier meals with starchy ones, but normal or overweight individuals should keep them as separate as possible.)

COLOPHON: This grouping of edible plants was made by me, Yesai, on Miryai Mt. in late 2021 as a revision of the outdated Chinese 5 Element system. It was made in an attempt to develop a balanced dietary program based upon the realities of modern botanical classifications and on practicalities of growing, 
processing and preparing one's own nutrient dense food. It was formulated in partial response to the quote of Bardaisan about the need to balance the five types of food as well as in an attempt to modernize and improve the Five Element system encountered in traditional Chinese medicine.
