This section was of particular interest to me, as I hate having a big meal. I would much rather 'graze' throught the day.

Timing

Five or six small meals and snacks a day are recommended for COPD patients instead of three large meals. Breaking the food in to smaller meals can also help relieve the uncomfortable feeling associated with a full stomach and overinflated lung. A small breakfast, lunch and dinner with the rest of the nutritional needs broken in to one or two snacks in between helps ensure the nutritional needs are met without undue pressure or stress.

I am increasingly finding little and often replacing a main meal that leaves me feeling bloated and draws my oxygen levels down while it is digested, glad you found it useful elian it is good to meet up with others that understand.

Wot types of food do u eat and prepare, i can't cook or be in kitchen without oxygen. i eat out all the time wen i can but wen i'm ill i have meals on wheels delivered which is Expensive. not very nice or a small plate of food and a sandwich for ur evening meal, i've lost two stone plus, in the last year and my muscle wastage is at it's worse.
