Beef provides a super source of the mineral zinc, which is important for growth, wound healing and your ability to taste foods."During my good week when I'm on chemo, I cook make-ahead foods and freeze them so that on the days when I have less energy and can't cook, I can just put something in the oven and still have a great meal to eat with my family. It's important to use your energy wisely when you have it because it comes and goes during treatment." -ANNE R.NUTRITION FACTS: High in iron, potassium, folic acid and vitamin A good source of fiber1 Serving: Calories 435 (Calories from Fat 145) Fat 16g (Saturated 5g) Cholesterol 45mg Sodium 900mg Potassium 690 Carbohydrate 56g (Dietary Fiber 3g) Protein 20g % DAILY VALUE: Vitamin A 18% Vitamin C 16% Calcium 6% Iron 20% Folic Acid 18% Magnesium 14% DIET EXCHANGES: 3 Starch, 1 High-Fat Meat, 2 Vegetable, 1 FatHelpful For These Side Effects: (d)From "Betty Crocker's Living with Cancer Cookbook."
