What was the average Viking diet like in terms of what foods did the eat most and did they have 3 square meals a day, did they snack, if so what on?
And would a Viking diet be a good way of dieting today in terms of loosing weight?
Not to discourage further answers, but in case you don't get one, you might be interested in /u/Aerandir's answer to a question here:
Stockfish would have been the normal food for raiding expeditions, which is not particularly what I would regard as a 'power dish'. Normally people would have eaten cereal stews and porridges, lots of fish and some meat. If you go out raiding perhaps more than at home, given that there are no concerns for preserving animals for secondary products (wool, traction, milk). Boar and pig would be particularly popular, whenever a Viking would be able to get it.
