Message: <blockquote data-quote="Romola" data-source="post: 115276" data-attributes="member: 16967">I have given  husband instructions to bring me suitable food if I am an in-patient in the future, eg oatcakes, nuts, dried fruit - all of which can be stored in a locker easily.However, I don't think any great harm would come of eating the occasional white bread sandwich -  the glycemic load of white versus wholemeal bread is not very much - and it is the amount eaten that would be important.  Unless the hospital stay is for longer than a few days, I'm not sure I would make too much of a fuss about the food.  I would eat what I wanted, leave XC starchy carbs, and make use of my snacks if required.  The trick with a sandwich is to eat just half of the bread.  If that leaves you hungry later on - have a snack to make up.</blockquote>
