High Calorie Food Suggestions
« on: April 23, 2012, 10:44:03 pm »
Girls,
I need suggestion on high calorie foods.  My mom, who has stage 4 lung cancer, is hardly eating.  she's steadily losing weight, and is now down to 34 kg.  We're running out of ideas na.  She's a picky eater pre-CA, but now it's much worse.  those foods that she used to enjoy before, hindi nya na makain, i.e. lechon is too oily so she's feeling nausea, Majestic ham is too salty, Ensure has metallic taste, etc.  Help naman how we can add extra calories to her diet

neutral tasting food might be good for her if she's averse to extremes like too sweet and too salty.
like oatmeal,  starchy soups like arroz caldo or pumpkin soup, high fiber breads (white bread is easily burned by the body, fibrous, whole wheat food stays in there longer and gives quality carbs), bananas, avocadoes, mashed cauliflower, potatoes.

there are also some other meal replacement drinks that might be better tasting for her--try looking in healthy options. but milk, soymilk, almond milk are also mild tasting and packed with good calories.

More than just empty calories, better to have quality calories that contain nutrients that her body can use.

i wish your mom all the best.

Try giving her juices instead of water, malaki ren madadagdag sa calorie intake nya if you give her sugary drinks

Thanks mga sis.  I'm taking note of all your suggestions. 

sis shera, we're at the point na where it doesn't matter where the calories come from.  How I wish she would eat french fries, burger, and milkshake! 

pag may mga naisip pa kayo, please keep them coming
