Since I am struggling to eat and suffering horrible nausea as a result, I'm going to keep a food diary for a little while to help me track that I'm eating the right things.
So today so far I've had:
1/3 weetabix with approx 150 mls milk
small portion vegetable soup enriched with tofu for a protein boost
small portion natural low-fat yoghurt mixed with 1 pureed fresh nectarine
cup of milky coffee
which roughly equates to:
3 protein portions (milk in weetabix and coffee, tofu in soup, yoghurt)
1 vegetable portion (in soup)
1 fruit portion
less than 1 carb portion
so I need to have
3 more proteins
1 more veg
1 more fruit
1+ more carb
and LOADS more fluid!
for tea I had
tiny portion (about 2 desert spoons) mashed potato mixed with cottage cheese, small portion blended cauliflower cheese
cup of Bovril
cup of NAS squash
cup of NAS apple juice mixed with water
small milky coffee
sugar free jelly.
so that's 1 more carb portion (including carb in nectarine?), 1 more veg portion (cauliflower) 2 more protein portions (cheese in cottage cheese and cheese sauce + milk in coffee),i fruit portion (in apple juice)
which is roughly what my dietician recomended. It was hard work getting all that in!
it's all approximate because I don't weigh at the moment, but my portions are no more than about 6-8 desert spoons at most.
and I upped my fluids too!
I'm going to get some SF ice pops tomorrow.
