Does your wife eat dairy products? If so, those are good recommendations. As I mentioned, soy is controversial in breast cancer, but the newest recommendations do allow for 2-3 servings of whole food soy per day. If your wife is not vegan then it is not necessary to include soy in the diet. If she is vegan and you wish to avoid soy there are plenty of other protein sources. Multi grain bread is a great start. Just check the ingredient list and make sure the 1st ingredient says "whole grain" or "whole wheat". It sounds like you are doing a good job.
