Let me see if I understand. You're saying that your CF specialists are saying to eat a high calorie diet, but are confused because most dietitians say to eat several small meals, which are low in fat?

My nutritionist says the contrary. A die low in fat, and meat.
In this site recommend to consume use shrimp, crab meat,and shrimp, crab meat,. Those ingredientes or foods are high in fat.
My nutritionist says that I have to consume a severall small meals, and low in meat. My doctor says that I have to consume more carbohydrates.

One doctor specialis in cf says that
Overall the diet should be as possible, without dietary restrictions except diabetes mellitus associated with high-fat (100 grams per day or what is the same for more than 35% of total calories, as much saturated fat as unsaturated), supplemented with pancreatic enzyme synthesis or pigs, vitaminoprofilaxis and mineral supplements.
The doctors say there should not be a restriction of fat.

Lark,

Usually CF diets are unrestricted, but some docs will recommend eating less fat or oils because they are typically difficult for us to digest. As for the calories from carbohydrates versus proteins, I'm afraid I don't have a great answer, unless you have CFRD. Nutrition isn't my preferred subject. Hopefully, someone can give you a better answer.

Good luck!

Do you have any other issues or diagnosis going on here on top of or as a result of CF? For example, if you have some issues with your kidneys than maybe that would be a reason for a low protein diet recommendation.

I assume this diet is to put on weight? Most CF diets are unrestricted. In theory a high carb diet will help put on weight. Spreading the carbs out over several meals helps your body better regulate your blood sugar, so it is a good idea. Choosing whole grain/complex (slow digesting) carbs is better to avoid quick blood sugar spikes and then subsequent insulin spikes.

That said, you don't only want to eat carbs. You need to eat protien and healthy fats as well. You should also add some weight training in. Research the diet a body builder would follow when they are bulking up. Keep track what you are eating. If you don't gain weight at the end of the week, eat more calories than you did the week before. It is not easy and you will need to force yourself to eat. Eat 5 to 6 meals a day. I'd say try to start with five 600 calorie meals, with 20-30g of protien each. Once your body gets used to the extra meals/calories and you are lifting weights regularly your body will be craving more. Good luck.
