Phase 1 chicken broth question

[wanttodelete 12]

Is chicken broth a drink or a meal? Should I limit it to meal times or can I have it whenever? I am 4 days post op

A meal, but at this point I don't think it matters. It can count as both liquid and meal.

I loved my broth post op! I still have it several times a week. I count it as both meal and Water intake. I like beef broth the best.

I would count it as a mean since its such a small amount. but I would take it as often as you want it at this point.. don't start really counting foods until your on full liquids.< /p>

Liquid. There's not enough Protein in it to consider it a meal. Meals should be Protein Shakes at this stage, or protein enhanced broth and such. Now if you add a scoop of unflavored protein to the broth...then you have a meal :-).

That's why I said in the liquid stage there is no need to start counting yet. Its like counting 5 calories At a time
