The Midrash records that the greater part of the provisions consisted of pressed figs and greens for the various animals. Noah also stored seeds for future planting after the Flood.
Genesis 7:1 The LORD then said to Noah, "Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation. 2 Take with you seven of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and two of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, 3 and also seven of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth.
There were at least two from every species; but there were seven pairs of clean animals (Mizrachi).
the clean animals had the addi­tional purpose of being offerings after the Flood was over. They would also provide him with a supply of livestock for food, in anticipation of God's removal of the prohibition against eating meat [9:3] (Radak).
Genesis 8:20 Then Noah built an altar to the LORD and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it.
Genesis 9:3 Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.
4 "But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it.
3. God now gave Noah and his descendants a right that had never been given to Adam or his progeny: permission to eat meat. Noah was given the right to eat meat, just as God had given Adam the right to eat vegetation, because; (a) Had it not been for the righteousness of Noah, no life would have survived the Flood; and, (b) he had toiled over the animals and attended to their needs in the Ark. Of him was it said, You shall eat the toil of your hands (Psalms 128:2). Thus, Noah had acquired rights over them (Or HaChaim).
People did not eat meat before the Flood
As we can see they knew what clean animals were and what unclean animals were. And they knew to offer to G-d clean animals. There is no reason to think that the Everything that would be food for you, would not be anything other than clean animals. G-d gave the green plants, But not all green plants are eatable. In other words Everything in the category of the clean animals.
So the declaration in Lev. 11 represents an unexplained change.
There never was a change! There was clean animals and there was unclean animals. Our People knew from the text of the Torah and the Oral Torah what they ate before the flood and after the flood, and it was not unclean animals [.]
