Buddhists should eat healthy food like you and me. However, if you are a meditating Buddhist you should avoid (not forbidden; avoid) meat eating as the energy of meat-based food could cause disturbance during your meditation.

  • I think there are no main diets to any religious people it depends where they live and the culture they follow and the availability of food in their environment. Normally Asian main diet is rice, and rice related foods like noodles etc. In West flour and flour related foods bread etc.

As the question speaks about the Main Diet (major, key, central, principal, chief, prime), it is rice and rice related foods like noodles etc, because all most all the Buddhist people are living in the Asian region.

One of the precepts of Buddhism is "to abstain from killing sentient beings" , therefore if devout Buddhist is to prepare food for himself, he will always prefer vegetables. However, Buddhist will eat any food given to them as offerings. According to tradition, Gautama Buddha himself died by eating spoiled (?) foods given to him as offering when he was 80 years old.

Although Buddhists may examine and study the origins of life they are more concerned that it did come to be without examining the cause.
