Dale is supposed to be on a 2300 calories per day! We get about 1500!
I sent an email requesting an appointment with Dr. Those are good questions, thank you!

@itlooksunny Definitely consult with a dietician to see how to get those higher calorie foods into him! If he does not have dietary restrictions due to other health concerns, the answer might be "eat whatever appeals to you!" Keeping a healthy intake of food while you go through chemotherapy can sometimes be difficult, especially if you are feeling nauseous or fatigued. That's where the smaller meals, and more frequent, can come in. And remember, the feeling of fatigue can be a combination of the protocol, and not eating enough. And not eating enough of the right stuff can affect lab tests. Does it sound like a big circle? Yep, it sure is. Kinda like dominoes.
