Because their stomach capacities are reduced, bariatric patients must gain many nutrients from the foods they do eat. Eating adequate amounts of protein is critical, as the body can't store it yet needs a constant supply to repair and replace worn or damaged tissues. Therefore, at least 60 grams of protein should be consumed each day to meet the body's requirements.
Lean sources of high-protein foods are recommended at the beginning of each meal. Such sources include lean poultry or fish, eggs or low-fat cheese.
High-protein recipes for bariatric patients focus on providing maximum protein in small portions. Therefore, many recipes will call for minute amounts of carbohydrate "fillers" such as crusts, rice, pasta and breads. Common bariatric recipes include crustless quiches and pizzas, hearty soups, seasoned grilled lean meat recipes, high-protein sauces or toppings, and items that contain only a little starch, which can fill the stomach rapidly.
