Nutrition

  • Cancer can change the way your body breaks down and uses food. For example, cancer makes your body use more protein and break down muscle. It is important to ensure we eat enough protein to help prevent further muscle loss and to help develop and maintain strength to get through treatment and recovery. 
  • One pot meals: Preparing a recipe that requires many steps, pieces of equipment and cookware, just means that you'll be spending a lot more time and energy cleaning up.​ Soups, stews and slow braised meals are great to prepare all in one pot or dish. This will ensure that you can enjoy your meal without worrying about too many dishes afterwards.​
  • Top with your family's favourite toppings like cilantro, sour cream or guacamole. For a leaner option, use chicken breast.
