1 HOME & COMMUNITY CARE NUTRITION Nutrition and Wound Healing You will need extra protein, calories, fluids, vitamins and minerals to help heal your wound. 1. Protein helps build, maintain and repair your body. Some foods have more protein than others. Protein is found in greater amounts in meat, poultry, fish, eggs, cheese, milk, yogurt, lentils, dried peas, dried beans, nuts and tofu. 2. Calories from carbohydrates (starch and sugar) will be used to keep your energy levels up and allow the protein you eat to be used for healing your wound. Protein is used for energy if you do not eat enough calories 3. Drink 6 to 8 cups of fluid per day. This may include water, milk, milkshakes, soups, and juice. Note: coffee, strong tea or alcohol should not be counted in this amount. 4. Take a multiple vitamin mineral supplement daily. Choose one with at least 25 vitamins and minerals. Examples: Centrum, One A Day Advance, Jamieson VitaVim. Here are some suggestions about how to increase your protein intake. 1 Powdered Milk or Protein Powder 2 Add to fluid milk, milkshakes, puddings, custards, milkshakes or other recipes. Add to cereals, potatoes, cream soups, gravies, sauces, pudding, scrambled eggs, casseroles and meat loaf. Add to cookie, cake and muffin batters. 1 Adapted from Dietitians of Canada: Food Choices for Increasing Your Protein Intake. 2 See last page
