Food suggestions

When u guys were on the soft/mechanical phase of your diet what would u eat during the day? I am supposed to eat 3 meals and 2 Snacks (5-6 small meals a day). Please help with ideas.

Is that pureed? Or just soft foods?

If it's soft food, I remember I ate a lot of fish. I also ate eggs (some people have trouble with them, but I never have), deli meats, meatballs, braised meats, things like that.

Yeah soft foods. Thank u! I am trying to find id as to take to work too. It's hard to think of stuff.

I think I also did saucy things. Like meaty chili and meaty spaghetti sauce and curry.

Those sound good. Will have to try

During my soft food phase I ate cottage cheese, yogurt, boiled or mashed potato, pureed soups, scrambled eggs, and sugar-free pudding. My plan didn't allow any soft proteins until the next phase. And of course protein shakes, protein shakes, protein shakes lol

During soft foods phase for lunches at work, I would take either a couple slices of deli meat or a pouch of tuna.

Breakfast I was still mostly having greek yogurt or a little cottage cheese (those are still my go to breakfast). Dinner was often fish (baked sealed in parchment paper helps keep it moist). I think I had turkey meatballs in a little sauce a couple of times too. Like Gwen, I handled eggs just fine so soft scrambled eggs were in the rotation as well as egg salad made with plain greek yogurt instead of mayo.

Same... fish, scallops, crab, meatballs mashed up with a little sauce & cheese

Breakfast Scrambled Egg with a little cheese sauce, Ricotta or Cottage Cheese Pancakes http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2011/05/pista chio-pancake-morning.html

Those all sound great!!! Especially the ricotta bake. Thanks so much!!

I made a salmon salad with one 2.5 oz Chicken of the Sea Pink Salmon packet, a tbsp of light mayo (not because it's light, but because I actually like it better) or plain greek yogurt, a tsp of chopped capers, a little onion powder, and fresh chopped dill. A good alternative to eating too much tuna salad as tuna has a mercury problem and salmon doesn't.

Aside from that, greek yogurt, cottage cheese, refried beans with cheese, lentil soup, string cheese, deli turkey...
