Bread or crackers

Extra calories and protein are typically required during cancer therapy to help you maintain your weight and heal as quickly as possible. Snacks can help you satisfy those demands, maintain your strength and energy level, and make you feel better if you're losing weight. To meet your calorie demands during treatment, you may have to rely on snacks that are less nutritious sources of calories.

Bread or crackers are a wonderful choice if you have diarrhea or nausea because they are often easy to digest. When your stomach isn't upset, whole-grain ones with extra nutrients are perfect. Saltines or salted crackers are particularly beneficial for replenishing sodium lost due to diarrhea or vomiting. If you want extra taste and nutrition, top them with nut butter, smashed avocado, or ricotta cheese.
