Protein is necessary for the growth and repair of your muscles, bones, skin, hair, eyes, and other tissues. Protein also provides energy.  \nFiber is the part of food that cannot be digested by the body. Eating a diet high in fiber can add volume to your bowel movements. Following a low-fiber diet may reduce the frequency and volume of bowel movements. It can also help reduce diarrhea and stomach pain. Your doctor may have you follow a low fiber diet to help your gastrointestinal tract (stomach and intestines) repair after cancer treatment.  \nHow much do I need?  \nOn average, it is recommended that most adults eat 60-100 grams of protein each day. These numbers are based on your weight, and may change based on your current treatment plan.  \nOn a low fiber diet, you should aim to eat no more than 10-15 grams of fiber each day. Low fiber foods have less than 1 gram per serving. Some examples of low fiber foods include white breads, cereals, rice and pasta, most canned or well-cooked vegetables and fruits without skins or seeds, meat, poultry, fish, eggs, tofu, milk products (if tolerated), and fats.  \nBelow is a list of some high-protein, low-fiber foods that you should try to include in your diet.  \nProtein Content of Low Fiber Foods  \n\n| Food Choices | Amount of Protein (grams) |\n| --- | --- |\n| Meat, fish, and poultry (3 ounces) | 21 g |\n| Tofu (½ cup) | 20 g |\n| Yogurt, Greek (6 ounces) | 14 g |\n| Cottage cheese (½ cup) | 14 g |\n| Milk, Kefir (8 ounces) | 10 g |\n| Milk, regular and soy (8 ounces) | 8 g |\n| Eggs (1 egg) | 7 g |\n| Egg beaters® (¼ cup) | 6 g |\n| Yogurt, regular (6 ounces) | 7 g |\n| Cheese, hard and soft (1 ounce) | 6-10 g |\n\nFoods to Choose From and Diet Planning Tips  \n\n| Food Group | Choose these Low-Fiber Foods | Avoid these High-Fiber Containing Foods | Tips For Adding Protein |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Starches (Breads, Cereals, Rice, and Pasta) | ● White and light rye breads, rolls, and bagels\u003Cbr>● White rice, noodles, and pasta\u003Cbr>● Baked goods made with white flour\u003Cbr>● Other white flour products\u003Cbr>● Low-fiber cereals\u003Cbr>● Cream of wheat or grits | ● Whole wheat or whole grain breads, or cereals\u003Cbr>● Whole wheat pasta\u003Cbr>● Brown or wild rice\u003Cbr>● Corn bread\u003Cbr>● Oats, bran, barley, quinoa, and kasha (buckwheat) | ● Have a scrambled egg on white toast.\u003Cbr>● Add creamy peanut butter to hot cereals.\u003Cbr>● Cook hot cereals with milk.\u003Cbr>● Add Greek yogurt to pasta sauces. |\n| Meats and Alternatives | ● Lean beef, pork, and lamb\u003Cbr>● Poultry without skin\u003Cbr>● Fish and shellfish\u003Cbr>● Eggs\u003Cbr>● Smooth nut butters (creamy peanut butter or almond butter) | ● Tough to chew meats with gristle\u003Cbr>● Poultry with skin\u003Cbr>● Beans and lentils\u003Cbr>● Nuts\u003Cbr>● Crunchy nut butters\u003Cbr>● Seeds or foods containing seeds | ● Add sauces and gravies tomeats for added protein and calories.\u003Cbr>● Add meat or poultry to soups.\u003Cbr>● Add eggs to casserolesand other dishes.\u003Cbr>● Make scrambled eggs with high protein milk (see recipe) . |\n| Milk* and Alternatives\u003Cbr>*Be sure to monitor your dairy intake if you are following a low residue diet.
