A helpful website for me when not knowing what to do was www.crohnscolitisfoundation.org/assets/pdfs/diet-nutrition-2013.pdf. One of the meal plans that worked for me was:
Breakfast: ■ ¼ cup egg substitute (= 1 ounce of protein) scrambled with 1.5 ounces low-fat cheddar cheese (= 1 cup of dairy) ■ 2 slices potato bread (= 2 ounces equivalent of grains) ■ 1 cup watermelon (= 1 cup of fruit) Snack: ■ 1 cup (8 ounces) plain Greek yogurt (= 1 cup of dairy) with ½ cup diced cantaloupe (= ½ cup fruit) Lunch: ■ 3 ounces (= 3 ounces equivalent protein) cooked lean ground turkey divided on 2 (6-inch) flour tortillas (= 2 ounces equivalent of grains) topped with 1 medium avocado (= 3 teaspoons of oil), 2 pieces Bibb lettuce (= ½ cup of vegetables) and ½ cup mild salsa (as tolerated) (= ½ cup of vegetables) Snack: ■ 1 large banana (= 1 cup of fruit) spread with 1 Tbsp creamy all-natural nut butter (= 2 teaspoons of oil) Dinner: ■ 1 cup cooked penne pasta (= 2 ounces equivalent of grains) with 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (= 3 teaspoons of oil), fresh herbs, 1 cup well-cooked spinach (= 1 cup of vegetables) and 3 ounces (= 3 ounces protein) cooked shrimp ■ 1 cup unsweetened calcium fortified soy milk (= 1 cup dairy). Cow’s milk or other milk can be used.
