Low-protein, not low-fat Debbie, I've not seen any; however, if you call Balance Nutrition, they can send you a one-sheet "menu planner" that shows how to maintain the 7:1 carbohydrate:protein ratio. They use their drink, soups, and bars througout the day, but also provide suggestions for other meals. A sample breakfast: 1 poached egg 1 English muffin 1 tsp jam 1/2 grapefruit 8 oz juice coffee or tea (optional) 1 tsp sugar sample lunch: Ham sandwich made with 2 slices whole wheat bread, 1 oz ham, 2 tsp mayonnaise, 1 lettuce leaf, 1 slice tomato, 12 oz glass juice, 1 piece of fruit. Sample dinner: Pizza - cheese or veg - 1/4 of a 12" pie Tossed salad w/2 TB Italian dressing 3 bread sticks 2/3 cup zucchini 16 oz soda Strawberry shortcake: 1" slice sponge cake, 1/2 cup strawberries, 3 TB whipped cream It also includes tips on nutrition, weight gain if needed, and exercise. The Hearty Balance products can be used part of the time, for convenience, and the people at Balance Nutrition tell me that Medicaid will cover the cost of the products. Happy holidays to you and your mother!
