Dietary Advice: Meal ideas for food re-introduction stage of Low Calorie Diet Information for patients This leaflet can be made available in other formats including large print, CD and Braille and in languages other than English, upon request. The meal ideas mentioned in this leaflet can be used when reintroducing food to your diet following an 800 kcal treatment plan. All meals in this guide contain less than 400kcal. Start by swapping one shake at a time for a meal. For example, having a meal at lunchtime instead of a shake for 2 weeks then adding 2 meals with 1 shake for the following 2 weeks. By week 16, most people have 1200-1500kcal each day from food. Your dietitian will support you to agree a calorie intake according to your individual goals and activity levels. Key things to remember: Aim for 5 portions of fruit and vegetables daily (these foods are filling and very low in calories). Aim for 2-3 portions of protein daily, having protein at breakfast is a great way to start the day (these foods help keep you full). Include small amounts of carbohydrates in your diet and preferably wholemeal ones (these foods give you energy but we don’t need too much of them). Remember, different branded foods will have different amounts of calories so check your labels. Portion sizes, portion sizes, portion sizes! This is the foundation to your diet, smaller portions = smaller waists. Keep sugary foods to a minimum (these foods provide empty calories, which are calories that have no nutritional value but give the body a lot of fat and sugar.) What can I eat for breakfast?
