First of all, we decided to allow patients with a daily food intake of total calories. Under normal circumstances, is based on daily per kilogram body weight 104.5 kJ (25 kcal) to the calculation, in which protein accounted for 12% -20% (200 ml per day to ensure that dairy products, eggs 1 50-100 grams of fish , meat or poultry, 50-100 grams of soy products); fat, 20% -30% (to control the daily intake of edible oil 50 grams or less): carbon-water
Compounds accounted for 50% -65% (daily rice intake of 350 grams less than control). Food diversification is to obtain a necessary condition for overall nutrition, it should be thick with staple food, non-staple food have and avoid eating high-cholesterol animal offal, such as egg yolk.
In determining the daily volume, the patients should be less food more times(at least 5-6 times a day), which is to maintain stable blood sugar is good.
