Decreased appetite? Try small frequent meals!

Small Frequent Meals are a great way to increase your daily calories without stuffing yourself.

Try to eat:

- Avoid drinking 30 minutes prior to meals (it can make you feel full)
- Add calories to your foods like margarine or butter, whole milk, or brown sugar

Here is a sample meal plan to try!
Breakfast:
Scrambled Egg (1-2 eggs)
Toast with Margarine (1-2 slices of bread)
Small Glass of Juice

Mid Morning Snack:
6 oz Yogurt
Small Piece of Fruit

Handful of Cheese cubes
6-8 crackers

Dinner:

1/2 cup rice
1/2 cup steamed carrots
