When I did alternate day fasting, I fasted every other day and eat at maintenance in-between. I focused on eating as nutritiously as possible on my feeding days in order to delay nutritional deficiencies as much as possible, so I ate oily fish, avocados, cheese, organ meats, and a lot of veggies, I tracked everything with cronometer, I made sure to hit at least 95% of my goals each day I did eat. I also did keto while doing ADF so I'd remain in constant "fasted" state inbetween feeding and eating days as fasting essentially IS ketosis but with elevated cortisol/HGH/adrenaline etc levels on top of the ketone bodies

However for the lean lean meat and veggie diet, I'd recommend eating the lowest fat meats possible, preferably grass fed fresh meats with little preservatives but depending on your financial situation/cooking ability that might be a unfeasible, deli meats tend to be extremely lean as well but are loaded with preservatives. Canned fish is another good source of lean protein (100kcal of tuna = 24g of protein which is insane!) but you have to be mindful of mercury consumption over time, low mercury low fat seafood that you can safely eat regularly tends to be pretty pricey.

as for veggies, well anything goes pretty much! Nearly all veggies are low calories, full of vital micronutrients (although often times these micronutrients are not very bioavailable to humans, non heme iron and beta carotene vit a for example) and help bulk out meals, I recommend you eat as many different veggies as possible as overconsumption of any particular vegetable will lead to a build up antinutrients overtime. If you do this diet for any extended period of time it's recommended that you track your nutrient intake and consider supplements, an iron deficiency or B12 deficiency can really mess you up.

in fact, everyone should consider taking: Omega 3, B12 and Vit D, iron and magnesium are other important ones but can be toxic if taken in excess IIRC so be a bit careful
