found at work that many inpatients have insufficient protein intake. The main reason is that in the case of reduced food intake, no special attention is paid to the intake of high-protein foods.

　　Changes in appetite, low gastrointestinal tolerance, and metabolic problems all prompt patients to consciously and unconsciously avoid foods rich in fat, which is a light diet pandemic. However, fat and protein in food are often present at the same time, so a light low-fat diet can easily cause insufficient protein intake.

　　Protein is the most needed nutrient for patients during rehabilitation. How to increase protein intake, especially on the premise of a light diet (low fat), is indeed a problem worthy of attention. Here are several high-protein, low-fat foods that can help solve the above problems.

　　 1. Egg whites

　　 egg whites (removing the protein portion of egg yolk) are one of the most recommended high-protein low-fat foods. 2 egg whites can provide 8g of the highest quality protein and about 0.1g of fat. The protein has high nutritional value, is easy to process and digest. It is rare for adults to tolerate egg whites (allergies).

　　 2. Skimmed milk powder

　　 Skimmed milk powder is the best food to supplement protein. 2 sachets (30g) of skimmed milk powder provide 10g of protein and about 0.5g of fat. It is also rich in potassium, magnesium, zinc and calcium. Easy to digest.

　　Skimmed milk powder contains lactose, and many adults do not tolerate lactose. Gastrointestinal symptoms may occur or worsen. At this time, low-fat yogurt or low-lactose milk can be used instead.

　　3. Shrimp

　　Most fish and seafood have the characteristics of high protein and low fat. Shrimp is one of the most representative. 100g shrimp contains 16.8g protein and 0.6g fat. 100g shrimp contains 18.6g protein and only 0.8g fat.

Except for a few people with allergies, most adults, even in a disease state, are well tolerated by shrimp or seafood. There are many rumors that fish and shrimp are fasting, unfounded and untrustworthy.

　　 4. Whey protein powder

　　 Whey protein powder is albumin extracted from milk (casein is removed). 1 scoop (10g) contains 7.5g protein and 0.7g fat.

　　 is easy to digest, high in bioavailability, high in amino acid score, and high in nutritional value.

　　Most adults are well tolerated, but occasionally have allergies. The disadvantage is that the taste is very bad when used alone, and it can be seasoned or mixed into other foods.

When selecting specific products, pay attention to purity. Some whey powders contain only about 30% whey protein, which is not in my recommended range.

　　 5. Short-peptide enteral nutrition solution

　　This is a special preparation, suitable for patients with serious illness and need to ensure protein intake. Its characteristics are extremely easy to digest and high nutritional value. It is best used under the guidance of a doctor or nutritionist.

　　Special instructions:

　　The most typical high-protein, low-fat foods are egg whites and skimmed milk (or low-fat milk). Eggs and milk are high-protein and high-fat foods.
