Fuhrman recommends eating most of your calories from vegetables, because they are the most nutrient dense. He also recommends eating a lot of fruit too.

The following is from the food pyramid in his newest book.

Vegetables 30-70% of calories
(half cooked and half raw)
Fruits 25-50%
Beans and Legumes 10-30%
Whole grain, Raw nuts/Seeds 5-20%
(emphasis on nuts and seeds)
Eggs/Fish/Fat-Free Dairy Twice Weekly Or Less
Poultry/Oils Once Weekly Or Less
Beef/Sweets/Cheese/Whole Milk/Processed Food/Hydrogenated Oil Rarely
