What specific foods and portions fit a Mediterranean diet for fatty liver?

The short version: no study in this retrieval gives portions, so I can't hand you gram weights from the evidence. What it does support is the pattern and the weight-loss target.

The evidence block for this follow-up came back empty. Nothing here tested specific foods or serving sizes for fatty liver. So the honest answer is that portion guidance is not in these records, and I won't invent gram figures and dress them up as findings.

What I can say from general clinical knowledge, flagged as outside this retrieval: a Mediterranean plate for fatty liver leans on vegetables, legumes, whole grains, fish, olive oil, and nuts, with red meat and processed food kept occasional. Portion control matters less than total calories, because the lever that moves liver fat is weight loss. The prior answer's records put the useful target at 3 to 5% of body weight for liver fat and more than 10% for inflammation. Those numbers came from the earlier retrieval, not this one, so treat them as carried context, not fresh citations.

The gap is real. No record here compared one portion size against another, or one food against another, on liver fat. A trial that did would settle it. Until then, the pattern is better supported than any specific gram count.

My call: build the plate Mediterranean-style and let gradual weight loss set your portions, not a food list. Confidence: low on specific portions, moderate on the overall pattern.
