Answer Vegan (almost everything but meat) Answer:There are no dietary rules on Buddhists. There are things you should avoid (not must avoid) which include drugs, alcohol and meat killed especially for your consumption. The problems with diet occur mainly with your reasons for eating, not what you eat. Having lots of good simple food, but refusing it because you have a yen for steak and apple pie, is falling victim to lust or desire (wants beyond your physical needs). Desire, as we know from the Four Noble Truths is the cause of suffering.

What is everything in a Buddhists diet?
It honestly depends on what kind of Buddhist you are, but even then I don't think there's a specific diet that buddhists follow. I'm a Nichiren Daishonin Buddhist, and an SGI-USA youth, from my 4 years of being in the practice I haven't known anyone to talk about a diet. :) But we do feed off hardship, and try to produce happiness to world around us. I hope this helps somehow.
If Buddhist eat no meat or fish and vegetable what do they eat?
There are no "can't" or don't" in Buddhist dietary practices. A Buddhist is required to eat anything that he is given as a food tribute or which is prepared by his host. He may not specifically call for the death and butchering of an animal for his meal. In Tibet the opportunity of eating of a strictly vegetarian diet is unusual and many Tibetans (who are mostly Buddhist) eat meat. His Holiness the Dalai Lama ate meat while he lived in Tibet, but has come to eat a vegetarian diet. Buddhist suggestions suggest that Buddhists abstain from eating the flesh of carnivores, drinking alcohol or eaing garlic or onions.
What food does a Buddhist monk eat?
There is no one answer to this question. Basically the staple diet of a Buddhist Monk is the simplest form of the staple diet of the society in which he or she lives. Thus in a society in which the diet is based on rice the monk's diet is based on rice, in one in which wheat or other grains are the staple then these will form the basic element of the monk's diet. Buddhism like its relative religion Hinduism is essentially a vegetarian culture though not exclusively. Some Thai buddhists will eat fish and some Thibetans meat. In nomadic pastoral societies where animal products are the basic diet a Buddhist may be obliged through necessity to eat some meat and milk products. Simplicity and respect for the living world are key facets of Buddhist life.
