THIS IS ONLY A SUGGESTION AND PLEASE DO NOT STICK TO RIGIDLY AS IT IS IMPORTANT TO EAT THE FOODS THAT YOU ENJOY. FURTHER INFORMATION IS BEING SENT IN THE POST RE: PORTION SIZES, MAKING HEALTHIER CHOICES AND THE EAT WELL PLATE.

o Portion of cereal with milk
o Slice of toast and piece of soft fruit
o Yoghurt and piece of fruit
o Toast and egg
o Cereal bar
Mid morning
o Piece of fruit
o Latte
o Teacake/crumpet
o Cereal bar

Lunch

o Sandwich
o Quiche

o Sushi

Mid afternoon

Evening meal:
o Mash, beans and cheese
o Grain, meat and vegetables
o Home made pizza
o Bolognese with a carbohydrate e.g. toast
o Beans on toast
o Jacket potato with cheese, beans, coleslaw, fish - any topping. Try to avoid the skin but eat the middle as this will be softer
o Omelette/frittata
o Stir fry
o Lasagne/mousakka
o Shepherds pie/fish pie
Mid afternoon and mid morning ideally you want a snack to provide sufficient energy to keep you going throughout the day
Evening meal will be anything you can tolerate but ideally, as with lunch, you want to have a carbohydrate based meal with some protein and some fruit or veg.
Key elements to a healthy balanced diet:
o Aim for 5 fruit and vegetables a day - over cook the vegetables so they are soft and easily broken down by the body. Tinned fruit and vegetables tend to be softer and may be more easily tolerated. Fruit/vegetable juice counts as one portion of your five a day
o Have a carbohydrate based meal. An ideal portion of carbohydrate would be - 30-40g cereal, 2 egg sized potatoes, 1 medium slice bread, 1 crumpet, 3 ryvita/crackers, 90g cooked cous cous/quinoa/bulghar wheat
o Aim for 3 portions of calcium rich foods a day - 200ml milk, pot of yoghurt, 30g cheese, 90g cottage cheese
o Aim for 2-3 portions of protein rich foods a day - 1 egg, half a tin of beans, 100g meat. Have the soft types of meat e.g. fish, meat in a sauce, mince, quorn may also be softer and more tolerated by your body
o High fat/high sugar foods are more easily over consumed therefore try and limit how often these are eaten.
