Bariatric Food Guide Pyramid
Here is a Bariatric Food Guide Pyramid from my NUT. I was eating mostly 90- 95% protein and she said that I need to add variety. I hope this helps.
Protein 6-7 servings:
ex: 1/2 cup cooked beans, 6 - 8 oz yogurt, 1/4 cup cottage cheese, 1 egg, 1 oz cooked lean meat, poultry, fish or cheese, 8 oz non fat milk or 1/2 c tofu
Fruit 2 servings:
ex: 1 1/4 cup berries, small banana, 1/2 cup canned fruit, 17 grapes, 1 cup melon, 1/4 cup dried fruit, 2 Tbls raisens
Vegetables 3 servings
ex: 1 cup raw vegetables, 1/4 cup cooked vegetables
Grains/Starchy vegetables 3 - 4 servings
ex: 3/4 cup whole grain cereal, small potato, 1 slice whole grain bread, 1/3 cup whole grain rice or pasta, 4 high fiber, low fat crackers, 1 small whole wheat pita bread
Fat 3 servings
ex: 1 tsp oil, 1 tsp margarine, 1 tbsp lite mayo, 1 tbsp seeds, 1/8th avacado
I hope this helps you and anyone else who needs it.
