Nutritional
Supplements
Working to keep
your calorie and nutrition intake high usually requires creativity
and problem-solving. The more options you have, the more successful
you are likely to be. For some women, high calorie, high protein
drinks as snacks, or as mealtime beverages work well. Homemade
shakes and protein-enriched smoothies are wonderful. Commercially
available products are another option that are convenient and portable
for times when you are away from home. Below is a short list of
several products and their nutrient profile. Check with your doctor
about nutritional supplements in your diet. There may be others,
not listed here, which are most suitable for your specific needs.
