Make a Difference in Your Cancer Treatment with Good Nutrition
Eating enough when you don’t feel like eating at all:
Eat larger meals earlier in the day.
Sip high calorie drinks like milk shakes or smoothies through
a straw between meals.
Eat small meals off of small plates – little portions are
less overwhelming.
Eat baby food fruit for snacks – it’s high in calories,
vitamins, and minerals and it goes down easily.
Try to eat when you are relaxed and eat slowly.
Eat whenever you are hungry, not just at regular meal times.
Carry portable snacks with you wherever you go - in your
handbag, briefcase, night table drawer or car.
Try foods that require less chewing like applesauce or yogurt.
Eat with a friend.
Some days may be better than others. On
days when you are feeling well try to eat as healthfully
as you can.
Strategies for increasing protein:
Aim to include at least one serving of meat, fish, poultry,
eggs, or dairy at every meal or snack.
Add protein powder or dried milk to milk shakes, fruit smoothies,
puddings, yogurt, mashed potatoes, and cream-based soups.
Sprinkle cheese on sandwiches, eggs, pasta, rice dishes,
baked potatoes, French fries, and casseroles.
Spread peanut butter on sandwiches, bagels, muffins, and
quick breads. Use it as a dip for raw vegetables, pretzels
or apples.
Add chopped ground meat to rice and pasta dishes.
Strategies for increasing calories:
Top desserts with a heaping spoonful of whipped cream.
Add cream to soups, cereals, and hot chocolate.
Add butter or margarine to mashed and baked potatoes, soups,
pasta, rice and vegetable dishes.
Spread cream cheese on toast, bread, bagels, muffins, and
quick breads.
Use extra mayonnaise for tuna and egg salad and on sandwiches
and burgers.
When using salad dressings, opt for thick, creamy dressings
such as
blue cheese or thousand island. Use these dressings as a
dip for chips and vegetables.
Add extra sugar to coffee and on cereals.
Put cheese on everything.
Choose foods that are fried and sautéed, rather than
those that are baked, broiled or grilled.
Snack on dried fruit and nuts.
Indulge in milk shakes, ice cream and pudding.
Tips for making meal planning and preparation as easy as
possible:
When friends and family ask how they can help, ask them
to bring you your favorite foods. If you are not hungry
when the food arrives, divide it into individual portions,
wrap it up, and freeze it for later.
If someone else can help you with the cooking, shopping
or clean-up, let them do it.
If you have access to take-out food, order in when you are
tired or don’t feel like cooking.
Make clean-up easy by using colorful paper plates and plastic
knives and forks.
Prepare food like macaroni and cheese or pasta from mixes.
Fill your freezer with lots of different frozen meals and
pop them in
the microwave for a quick meal.
On days that you are not feeling tired, call up a friend
and cook up a big batch of a favorite dish together. Divide
it up into single serve portions and freeze them.
Make a list of things that you like to eat. Ask a friend
or relative to buy the ingredients for you, so that they
will always be on hand for quick meal preparation.
