3 What is a fork mashable diet? A fork mashable diet consists of food that can be mashed with a fork, and is soft, tender and moist. It requires a little chewing, but no dry, crunchy or tough foods which are harder to chew. Why do I need a fork mashable diet? Sometimes a fork mashable diet may be easier to eat. This may be due to: swallowing problems difficulty chewing sore/dry mouth or throat. You may need this diet for a short time only or it may be required for longer. You may be given individual advice from your speech and language therapist if you have been advised to follow a fork mashable diet. How do I prepare a fork mashable diet? Foods must be soft enough to be mashed with a fork. They may require some chewing but should not be hard, crumbly or crisp. Adding sauces or gravy can help make your food moist and easier to swallow. These are useful equipment that make your foods softer and easier to manage: Slow cooker Pressure cooker Casserole dishes Potato masher Fork Grater Sieve 3 of 16
4 These are suitable sauces to improve the texture and flavour of meals: Thick gravy White sauce Mayonnaise/ salad cream/ sour cream Hummus Guacamole Tomato ketchup/ brown sauce. How to eat well on a fork mashable diet You should aim to have three meals a day - breakfast, lunch and an evening meal. If your appetite is poor or you are losing weight, you should try to have snacks and/or nourishing drinks between meals. To ensure a balanced diet, it is important to include foods from each of the following groups: Starchy foods e.g. potatoes, cereal - three portions a day Protein foods e.g. meat, fish, eggs - two to three portions a day Fruit and vegetables - five portions a day Dairy foods e.g. milk, cheese, yoghurt - three portions a day Foods containing fat and sugar the quantity will depend on whether you are underweight or overweight and if you have diabetes. If you have any questions about these recommendations please speak with a dietitian. 4 of 16
5 Fluid intake If you have been advised to thicken your drinks it is important to follow the recommendations from your speech and language therapist. To avoid dehydration, you should aim to drink six to eight glasses (1.5 to 2 litres) of fluid a day. Tip: The best type of fluid to drink is water. Sometimes adding a flavouring e.g. squash or lemon or lime helps to encourage drinking more. What can I eat on a fork mashable diet? The following pages list the different foods/drinks that are advisable for a fork mashable diet. There is also a list of foods that you should avoid.

12 Increasing the nutrition in your food If you are concerned about your weight because you have either lost weight or are struggling to maintain your weight, you may wish to enrich your foods. When your appetite is reduced, it is easier to have smaller meals/puddings and regular snacks in between meals to better meet your nutritional needs. It is important to include a source of protein and carbohydrate (energy) in each of your meals. Avoid filling up on lots of fruit, vegetables and water at the expense of more nourishing foods and drinks. If you are concerned about your fruit and vegetables intake, speak to your dietitian. Adding the following foods to your savoury and sweet dishes will help to make your food more nourishing: Savoury dish Add milk, cheese/parsley sauce, cream, butter or margarine, mayonnaise. For every ¾ pint (400ml) of sauce add: 1 tablespoon of milk powder Or 1 2oz (30 60g) cheese Or 2 4 tablespoons (30 60ml) of double cream. Sweet dish Add milk, custard, butter or margarine, chocolate/butterscotch sauce, evaporated milk, cream, yoghurt and condensed milk. You can also fortify milk by adding four tablespoons of milk powder to one pint of full cream/fat milk. Whisk this with a fork or blender and use in place of ordinary milk, as well as in drinks, milky puddings, soups and sauces. 12 of 16
