Cooking while wearing oxygen is a real trip.


You *are* kidding, right??? Do you have an electric range?

DH has an oxygen concentrator that he uses at night. The company that
brought it here made us hang signs all over the house and gave us a
stern lecture about any kind of open flame and oxygen.

oatmeal is another thing I am going to try again.

I can't remember what it taste like, but I remember I didn't like it.

I have to cut down on meat and eat more fruit and vegetables.

I almost have to have meat at every meal. I was thinking about turkey
as I do like it, but I can't have turkey ate every meal like I could
beef. I also have to limit salt.

Any suggestion for the main dish?



Fish? Salmon and tuna are "meaty" and might make you feel more satisfied
than salad-y stuff.

Chicken also, and if the OP can afford it bison is worth trying.

Bison was something the nurse recommended, but I am not sure you can
get that here.

Absolutely, I have an electric range. I wish it were ceramic topped
magnetic conduction. I miss candles too! My oxygen concentrator goes
24 hours when I am at home (tiny apartment) tethered to a 30 foot
plastic tube. I have a sleep apnea (bi-pap) machine at night. I call
it my Darth Vader outfit.

Instant oatmeal is pretty bland. It tastes like paste. Quick cooking oatmeal
is not much better. The large flake and steel cut are delicious. I was raised
on the stuff and still eat it.

Anyway, I think it helps to think of the meat as a flavoring and protein
boost for the dish, instead of it being the central part of the meal.

Good Luck!

I am thinking that is going to be the compromise I can live with.

Not sure where you live, but people in the USA have a tendency to eat far
and away too much meat anyway. On a maintenance diet of 2000-ish calories,
I only need 2 3-oz (or equivalent) protein portions per day. A 3-oz piece
o' meat will fit in my palm (shaddup people!). And on the other end of the
spectrum, we tend to eat far too many simple carbs in all their various
glories. When I keep my protein intake at what it should be for my weight,
and keep my fiber intake high (another deficiency in the common USA-ian
diet) by eating LOTS of veg, fruit and whole grains, I feel so much better.
I also strictly limit sat and trans fats, keep a not terribly vigilant eye
on sodium intake. By adopting this kind of diet in combination with a
religious work out schedule, I was able to lose the high BP pills :-) and
my immune system is 2nd to none. touch wood

I wish you well.
