They were to eat what God called "bread," or the corn of heaven until they were full and the eating was to be done in the morning. So Israel started with a breakfast very high in carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are major energy sources. This was the energy necessary to sustain a highly active day. Many sportsmen will eat a high carbohydrate meal prior to competition to supply the high energy level needed to perform. Then, in the evening the children of Israel were given flesh to eat, which is a major source of protein. The flesh they ate was wild quail. This high protein meat would supply the necessary ingredients to rebuild the body during a restful night of sleep. This was God's perfect diet for a high-demand lifestyle. Other staples in this diet would have included olive oil, honey and plenty of water, etc.
Remember God's direction was to eat carbohydrates to the full in the morning and flesh in the evening. Incorrect food combinations can cause physical problems and in Israel's diet God gave instructions in this regard. The special diet given to Israel was how the children of Israel ate while traveling through the wilderness for 40 years. http://www.godsaidmansaid.com/topic3.asp?Cat2=244&ItemId=649
