Olive oil is indeed your friend. Can she handle chick peas? Hommus and olive oil with arab/greek pocket breads are filling and pretty healthy, easy on the system.

Something about these. The studies about red meat have figured out correlation between eating much red meat and some diseases, but it is mostly unclear why it is so. So, taking into account that we are predators, those use meat and plants, it is good to eat the meat too. And chicken should be very safe and fish too. With fish it is good to eat different kinds of fish and preferably from clean places, as there are environmental toxins in fish. Usually fresh water fishes from some clean lake is the best choice toxin-wise. And small fishes are better regarding this issue than bigger ones. I like to buy the kind of small fishes those I can eat as a whole (excluding the head), after cooking of course.
If you take same kind of studies than with meat, the more you eat fish, the smarter you are, but this too shows just the correlation. Maybe smart people just eat more fish.
Regarding the oils, rapeseed oils are better than olive oil, as rapeseed oils contain omega-3 fatty acids (same stuff than in fish), about 10 times more than in olive olis.
