Combining a daily exercise program with a 1700-calorie diet one could expect lose about 1 lb. per week. Breakfast Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and should not be skipped. All night long your body has gone with out food and needs the nutrients to get you through the morning. Breakfast should be 300 to 500 calories. A great balance easy breakfast is 1 cup of plain non- fat yogurt, 137 calories, with 1 cup of blueberries, 81 calories, and 2 tbsp. of wheatgerm sprinkled over the top, 50 calories. Your total calories for the breakfast would be 268 calories, 45 g of carbohydrates,19 g of protein and 2.1 g of fat. Mid-Morning Snack When you eat a low calories breakfast it is very important to eat a mid morning snack. Snack should be between 100 to 300 calories.

Can you recommend a diet for my mother who is 100 years old? We have been limited
to a diet with 1,700 calories. We blender he food to make the swallowing easy as she
has an esophageal tumor. We want to be sure she gets all the nutrients that she will
need to stay healthy, not get dehydrated. Right now we are still in the process of the
healing of a PEG which is a tube put into the stomach for feeding. She used this forfeeding ONLY FOR 6 months out of the three years that she had it. We removed it due
to the infections that she would get in addition to the pain. Please help me plan a
healthy diet for her that we can turn into soup form. Thank you!

Kathy, when you run out of other ideas you can always fall back on ensure and
the other nutritional drinks they make. They have all of ther mutrients she
needs and taste good. You can puree almost anything, some things get a little
stringy but you can strain it. Good luck!
