Attach importance to the concepts of "quality is better than quantity" and "delicious". Mr. D, 78, has pancreatic cancer and has been receiving anticancer drugs until recently.

In the diet of patients whose quality is better than quantity, the most important thing is the amount of food. How would you feel if you saw a pile of food when you lost your appetite? Do you feel a little sick? If you prepare buckwheat noodles for patients, you must put them in a small bowl. As long as the weight makes the patient feel that "I can eat like this", I can be psychologically prepared to eat. It's not enough to eat, just add it. For patients, even if they can't eat too much, the most important thing is to have the idea of "delicious" and "good after eating". I hope you stick to the concept of "quality is better than quantity". Instead of preparing a lot of cheap tuna naked (the part with less oil in tuna sashimi), it is better to prepare expensive but delicious tuna belly. Just because I only take one bite, I hope patients can taste the best taste and hear my "delicious". When you can't eat, your doctor may advise you to take nutritional supplements. This liquid nutrient is high in calories and quite sweet in taste. Patients who like sweets may like to eat, but patients who don't like sweets may even feel pain when drinking nutrients. Even if these nutrients are provided, they should be packaged into small portions for the convenience of patients. Even if it's a big can, just divide it into small cups and drink it slowly, and maybe you can finish it. If it is too sweet to drink, you can dilute it with milk. "In fact, I want to eat a lot to recover" is the biggest wish of every patient. Don't put pressure on patients, try to let them taste delicious food.
