A bite size soft and chopped mechanical soft diet limits foods that are hard to chew or swallow. This diet may be recommended following certain surgeries or illnesses, if you have difficulty chewing due to lack of teeth, or have decreased swallowing ability.
- Avoid nuts, seeds, tough meats and meat with skin and bones.
- Meat should be chopped or ground, and food should be moist.
- Foods should be in bite sized pieces.
- Avoid raw fruits and vegetables and breads. Instead, include well cooked vegetables and canned fruits.
- Avoid chewy or hard breads.
