PET Scan - & Yes I'm Going to Beat This !!!

I'm going to have a PET Scan done, and they gave me a list prior to the night before of what I can and cannot eat. Has anyone ever had a PET Scan done before?
I'm curious as this list of what I'm able to eat and not able to eat is rather odd to say the least.
The evening prior to the study eat a meal that is high in protein, such as fish, meat, chicken and eggs. Do not have any bread, pasta, rice or starches such as corn and potato's. Do not eat foods that are high in sugar content, such as desserts. Only green vegetables are acceptable. I'm able to drink plain water plain water after midnight, and the morning of the test.
So I'm trying to figure out with fish, meat and/or chicken - what I am able to add to a meal the night before
right now - maybe because my mind is a little boggled with everything I'm going through - and I'm trying to prepare ahead of time for this, to get the right foods in the house. I have meat and/or chicken to make the night before. The only thing I can think to add to this is a large salad (for greens only) but would have to leave off many of the usual things they put into the salad where I would normally order this from, onions, tomato's, crouton's, cheese, etc. So I guess I would need to ask for just a plain salad with cucumbers in it, as those are the only "green item" they put in the salad, unless they have broccoli which they could add as another "green item".
I don't eat peas, asparagus, or things like that
So any suggestions for me?
Anyone been through a PET Scan, and had to follow this dietary restriction before?
I've read up on what it's all about and what they will do that morning, putting the dye into me, to see what "lights up" - so I get it, and understand that certain foods will give a false positive on this - hence the restrictions.
Help would truly be appreciated

Stress really does have so many negative affects. I'm glad you're reducing your stress level.
If you just happen to have an extra cinnamon roll here or there, feel free to send one to me.

Just think you can gain 20lbs then start binging and purging like other girls obsessed with their weight.

No binging or purging from me
I'm not at an age where I think I need to be super thin, as long as I keep myself "toned" - then I'm fine. Oh, and I want my hair color to remain natural as it is; thank goodness I have not had to go into a bottle yet
You are the one who stole my Shoofly pie idea
I threw my Pet Rock out long ago, it wouldn't listen to the other rocks I had
Our Krispy Kreme is now a Chick-Fil-A - it didn't last long as a Krispy Kreme
