Six small meals a day

My husband recently had a hiatal hernia repair and was told to eat six small meals a day but he never talked to a dietician about that. Please give us some examples of what that would like in a 24 hour period.

Answer #1

you mean what 6 smlal meals a day would be? small meals would be about 1 quarter of the size of a regular meal and youd even them out throughout the day say by having opne small meal around every 2-4 hours a small meal could be something like 2 slices of toast handfull of nuts/berries/saltanas, dried fruit, ect a small bowl of cereal and for meals youd have a small bowl of pasta or if you were having a roast youd take smaller portions of it usually anything thats a snack could be considered a small meal that will keep you going for those 2-4 hours
