meat-based diet
Hello,
"Sophie lived on a meat-based diet, when she was in training for the Olympic games."
Can I say "meat-based food" or "mead-based meal" instead of "meat-based diet"?
If it's impossible, would you tell me the reason?
Thank you in advance,

lived on a meat-based diet / meat-based food / meat-based meal s All convey about the same meaning, although meat is a food, so I think meat-based food would simply be meat, and in that case people would probably say lived on meat . I think meat-based food is too much like sugar-based candy or water-based rain to be a useful combination of words! CJ
