Lean Meats
Tender, lean meats with no added fat are a good choice. Grilling, steaming or baking poultry or pork is the best way to prepare them as part of a bland diet. Fish can also be included, especially types containing low levels of fat. Whitefish, such as cod, haddock or hake, are good options along with some shellfish, including shrimp, crab and lobster.
Tofu is also an excellent ingredient to cook with when following a bland diet. It's best to avoid anything fried.
