Dear Friend,
While you are being treated for cancer, it is important to eat a healthy diet to give your body the fuel that it needs to continue your fight against cancer.
In this newsletter you'll find some helpful tips on how to boost your weight even when you do not feel like eating. The key is to make each calorie count and to eat what you want when you want even if that's not following a typical meal schedule.
Best Regards,

Tips to Boosting Weight Gain for Cancer Patients
While eating is generally (and correctly) thought of by most as a pleasurable 
activity, its primary function is to provide your body with fuel and nutrients. This aspect becomes even more crucial when you're undergoing cancer treatment. You may actually be losing weight at a time when it's important to keep up your strength.
Eating properly boosts your energy levels, prevents muscle loss and fortifies your immune system.
Use these helpful tips to maintain a nutritious diet along with a healthy weight.
• It's a basic formula: eating calorie-dense foods will make your weight go up. If you want to gain weight, add 500 to 1,000 calories to your normal daily intake. If your goal is maintenance, 15 calories per pound is a good rule of thumb.
• Protein is the building block of muscles. Rich sources include peanut butter, meats and seafood, nuts and cheese. If your system can't tolerate high-protein foods, try low-fat cottage cheese, milk and yogurt. Protein powder is another method to increase your intake.
• Fruits and vegetables are chock-full of valuable vitamins and minerals. Choose dried fruits and 100 percent fruit juices along with starchy vegetables like sweet potatoes, corn and peas.
• The American Cancer Society advises that it's best to eat before you begin to feel hungry. If nausea is a problem, stick with sandwiches and other cold or room-temperature foods that don't require cooking.
