Changing My Life After Illness (2) | The "Just Right" Diet Seen Through Hospital Meals

I kept a proper record of my meals
at every meal while hospitalized.

What and how much should I eat?
How many calories, proteins, fats, and how much salt are in that meal?
And, the physical sensation and bodily changes after actually eating it.

In order to structure my diet after discharge,
I ate while observing, with the intention of "testing it on my own body."


First, I will start with the conclusion.

Hospital meals were designed to have neither too much nor too little, even though I was "eating more substantially than I expected."



For example, a meal on one day looked like this:

・Approx. 1600–1660 kcal per day
・Approx. 58–66g of protein
・Approx. 25–28g of fat
・Approx. 7g of salt

At first glance, it gives the impression of "eating substantially," but
when I actually lived through it, it was very stable with little burden on my body.



What was particularly impressive was the amount of protein.

Even without being conscious of it, I was naturally meeting about 60g a day.

Honestly, this was an amount that would be difficult to achieve in my daily diet without being quite conscious of it.



On the other hand, the fat content was modest, and
the seasoning was not so much "too bland" as it wasthe line of "this much is enough".

In fact, even while leaving some noodle soup or avoiding stimulants,
I still felt quite satisfied.



The movement of my weight was also interesting...

Even if it increased temporarily from morning to night,
it did not collapse significantly when viewed on a daily basis.

Rather,there is a feeling of "stability despite eating."What I realized here is that





my diet until now had been either "too much or not enough."Either extremely reduced,
or conversely, unbalanced due to being busy.

It was neither of those,
but taking what is necessary in the amount necessary.

Hospital meals showed me that standard in a concrete form.
After discharge, I will refer to cookbooks and the like, but

above all, this record will become my own "standard."



And after the surgery scheduled for June,
the content of my meals should change again.

At that time, I intend to observe it again
as a "diet for the recovery period."

I am not doing anything special.
But,



just by adjusting what and how much I eat, my body will definitely change.

These were the few days I realized that.
Next time,

I will write about the "60g of protein" that I felt the most change from among these.
