What is the recommended diet plan for a patient with a history of antral gastritis?

Question

Hello doctor,

As I have recently turned 40 years old, I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide me with a daily or weekly schedule for my meals, which includes a well-balanced diet plan. I currently have no health complaints and would like to know how much and what kind of food I should consume on an empty stomach in the morning, as well as in between breakfast and lunch and lunch and dinner. It would be very helpful if you could guide me with a proper chart.

Thank you in advance.
