Patients with pituitary tumors should maintain regular meal times, eat moderate portions, and adopt a pattern of eating small meals frequently. They should consume more foods rich in vitamins A, C, and E, increase intake of green vegetables and fruits, and choose low-fat foods such as lean meat, eggs, yogurt, cabbage, carrots, rape (oilseed rape), garlic, corn, and fish. Avoid spicy, greasy, salted, smoked, grilled, and fried foods—especially charred foods—and abstain from smoking and alcohol.
