Perhaps grocery shopping or cooking is too difficult, or meals just aren&rsquo;t as fun to eat alone. Regardless, eating healthy meals is of course incredibly important as we age.<\/p><p>Tammera Karr, a board certified holistic nutritionist in Roseburg, Oregon, and Kristi Von Ruden, a registered and licensed dietitian who plans meals for nursing home residents and geriatric outpatients at Northfield Hospital &amp; Clinics in Northfield, Minnesota, devised 18 easy, tasty and healthy ideas to consider when meal planning for seniors. Discover these healthy meals for seniors below.<\/p><p>Before you get cooking, be sure to keep your older loved one&rsquo;s doctor in the loop, and check with their medical team about food restrictions and recommendations before planning menus.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-custom-dynamic-list key-takeaways-block\"><h3>Key takeaways<\/h3><div class=\"key-takeaways-container\"><ul><li>Grocery shopping and cooking can be labor-intensive for seniors, making it difficult for them to meet all of their nutritional needs.<\/li><li>Meal prepping is a great way to help loved ones have healthy, delicious meals without all of the extra work.<\/li><li>Keep these breakfast, lunch and dinner ideas on hand, and prep them for, or with, older loved ones.<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-meal-preparation-tips-for-seniors\" data-toc-id=\"ab71ce86\"><b>Meal preparation tips for seniors<\/b><\/h2><p>While there is no one tip that will work for everyone, there are a few ideas you can incorporate into your week that will help make cooking for seniors easier on you and your older loved one.<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><b style=\"font-size: inherit\"><strong>Make a weekly plan and write it down. <\/strong><\/b><span style=\"font-size: inherit\">Sit down on the weekend and plan out your loved one&rsquo;s meals for the entire week. This will help you avoid making several trips to the grocery store during a busy work week. Write down the menu for the week and put it in a place where your loved one can easily access it. Knowing ahead of time what is planned will make it less overwhelming for seniors whether they are the ones cooking or not.<\/span> <\/li><li><b style=\"font-size: inherit\"><strong>Make meal prep a group project. <\/strong><\/b><span style=\"font-size: inherit\">Enlist your loved one&rsquo;s help in prepping for the week&rsquo;s meals. Not only will you get assistance (and company), but they&rsquo;ll feel more invested in what they are eating and will enjoy having a weekly project to look forward to.<\/span> <\/li><li><b style=\"font-size: inherit\"><strong>Prep versatile ingredients for the week. <\/strong><\/b><span style=\"font-size: inherit\">Meal prep is supposed to make your life easier, not more difficult. Instead of trying to prep each meal individually, start by prepping certain foods that make more than one appearance in the week&rsquo;s meal plan. For instance, cook enough quinoa for the week or wash and chop vegetables and put them in tightly sealed containers in the refrigerator. This will ensure that no one is starting from zero when they begin cooking the meal.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"wp-block-careblocks-enrollment\" aria-live=\"polite\"><div class=\"enrollment-background\"><div class=\"enrollment-content\" id=\"enrollment-block\"><div class=\"enrollment-start\"><span>Like what you&rsquo;re reading?<\/span><h2>Join Care for free<\/h2><form name=\"enrollment\"><div class=\"enrollment-field-wrapper\"><label for=\"enrollment-block-firstname\" class=\"sr-only\">First name<\/label><input name=\"firstname\" type=\"text\" class=\"enrollment-field enrollment-firstname\" placeholder=\"First name\"><p class=\"enrollment-error enrollment-block-firstname-error hidden\">First name is required.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"enrollment-field-wrapper\"><label for=\"enrollment-block-lastname\" class=\"sr-only\">Last name<\/label><input name=\"lastname\" type=\"text\" class=\"enrollment-field enrollment-lastname\" placeholder=\"Last name\"><p class=\"enrollment-error enrollment-block-lastname-error hidden\">Last name is required.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"enrollment-field-wrapper\"><label for=\"enrollment-block-email\" class=\"sr-only\">Email<\/label><input name=\"email\" type=\"email\" class=\"enrollment-field enrollment-email\" placeholder=\"Email\"><p class=\"enrollment-error enrollment-block-email-error hidden\"><\/p><\/div><div class=\"enrollment-field-wrapper\"><label for=\"enrollment-block-zip\" class=\"sr-only\">Zip code<\/label><input name=\"zip\" type=\"text\" class=\"enrollment-field enrollment-zip\" placeholder=\"Zip\"><p class=\"enrollment-error enrollment-block-zip-error hidden\">Zip code is required.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"disclaimer\"><p>By clicking &ldquo;Join now,&rdquo; you agree to our <a href=\"\/about\/terms-of-use\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Terms of Use<\/a> and <a href=\"\/about\/privacy-policy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Privacy Policy<\/a>.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"enrollment-loading\"><div class=\"enrollment-loading-animation\"><\/div><\/div><p class=\"enrollment-error enrollment-error-message hidden\">We&rsquo;re sorry, your request could not be processed at this time.

While a frequent component of a balanced breakfast, nuts and seeds can be difficult for some seniors to digest, so Karr suggests looking to avocados as a substitute. Here are some healthy breakfast ideas for seniors.<\/p><ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><b style=\"font-size: inherit\"><strong>Warm oatmeal and berries. <\/strong><\/b><span style=\"font-size: inherit\">Place frozen or fresh berries in a crockpot at a low heat setting. Add a pat of butter and one serving of old-fashioned oats and water. Cover and cook on low for several hours (or overnight). This will give it the consistency of bread pudding. (The easier option is adding berries to warm oatmeal.)<\/span> <\/li><li><b style=\"font-size: inherit\"><strong>A hard-boiled egg.<\/strong> <\/b><span style=\"font-size: inherit\">Accompany with a side of fresh fruit and a slice of whole wheat toast.<\/span> <\/li><li><b style=\"font-size: inherit\"><strong>Whole grain pancakes or waffles.<\/strong> <\/b><span style=\"font-size: inherit\">If you can find one, choose a brand that contains chia seed, which Karr says is more stable than flaxseed and contains essential fatty acids and proteins. Then top with fresh berries. For protein, also eat a handful of walnuts or almonds.<\/span> <\/li><li><b style=\"font-size: inherit\"><strong>Yogurt parfait.<\/strong><\/b><span style=\"font-size: inherit\"><strong> <\/strong>Mix together yogurt, nuts and fruit. It&rsquo;s a good combo of healthy fat, Vitamin C and carbohydrates.<\/span> <\/li><li><b style=\"font-size: inherit\"><strong>Power toast.<\/strong> <\/b><span style=\"font-size: inherit\">For healthy fat and some protein, spread peanut butter or almond butter on whole wheat toast. Enjoy fresh fruit on the side.<\/span> <\/li><li><b style=\"font-size: inherit\"><strong>Poached egg.<\/strong> <\/b><span style=\"font-size: inherit\">Place egg on top of whole wheat toast and steamed asparagus. Top with a small amount of butter.<\/span> <\/li><\/ol><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lunch-ideas-for-seniors\"><b>Lunch<\/b> ideas for seniors<\/h3><p>Karr says that lunch is the ideal meal for loading up on colorful vegetables. Feel free to add leafy greens to any of these meals for additional midday nutrients. Karr advises that lunch should be the most substantial meal of your loved one&rsquo;s day and suggests steaming or saut&eacute;ing all vegetables for easy chewing. Here are some great lunch ideas for seniors.<\/p><ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"7\"><li><b style=\"font-size: inherit\"><strong>Quinoa salad.<\/strong> <\/b><span style=\"font-size: inherit\">Saut&eacute; pre-chopped stir-fry vegetables (onion, red pepper, mushrooms). Combine with pine nuts or pecans and cooked quinoa. Toss with Italian salad dressing. Eat fresh, warm or cold. Keeps well refrigerated. Steam or saut&eacute;&nbsp;vegetables in olive oil instead of boiling, which drains the nutrients.<\/span> <\/li><li><b style=\"font-size: inherit\"><strong>Eggs and red potatoes. <\/strong><\/b><span style=\"font-size: inherit\">Melt a pat of butter in a skillet. Chop up potatoes and add to skillet over a medium heat. Cover skillet for two minutes. Then, pour scrambled eggs over potatoes, add pepper and toss until eggs are hot. Rather than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.care.com\/c\/easy-low-sodium-meals-for-seniors\/\">seasoning with salt<\/a>, which can lead to water retention and high blood pressure, use fresh herbs and spices.<\/span> <\/li><li><b style=\"font-size: inherit\"><strong>Cottage fries.<\/strong> <\/b><span style=\"font-size: inherit\">Slice parboiled red potatoes. Heat extra virgin olive oil in a skillet and cook the potatoes at a medium heat. Top with leftover vegetables and grated sharp cheddar cheese. Cover, let steam and serve.<\/span> <\/li><li><b style=\"font-size: inherit\"><strong>Southwest omelet. <\/strong><\/b><span style=\"font-size: inherit\">Beat two eggs. Put 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet. Pour in the egg mixture, and add pepper jack cheese chunks and natural salsa or chili sauce. When eggs are firm, fold and serve with sliced avocado. Tip: Chili and spices help boost diminished taste buds.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-size: inherit\"><b style=\"font-size: inherit\"><strong>Salmon wrap.<\/strong><\/b><span style=\"font-size: inherit\"><strong> <\/strong>Place canned Alaskan boneless skinless salmon on a whole grain wrap. Add chopped avocado, tomatoes, greens and plain yogurt. Wrap tightly, cut in half and serve.<\/span><\/span> <\/li><\/ol><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Appetite Loss: When Should I Be Concerned About Nutrition? \/\/\/ The Hard Questions\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3W3qEVHRCMM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/figure><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dinner-ideas-for-seniors\"><b>Dinner<\/b> ideas for seniors<\/h3><p>&ldquo;Research is supporting lower calorie plans with intermittent fasting and high fat for seniors,&rdquo; says Karr, as this approach helps support brain function and reduce inflammation.

In addition to extra virgin olive oil, she suggests integrating avocado oil into your cooking.<\/p><ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"12\"><li><b style=\"font-size: inherit\"><strong>Baked or grilled Alaskan salmon.<\/strong> <\/b><span style=\"font-size: inherit\">Top each steak with tomatoes, sweet onion, dried or fresh basil, chopped garlic and one tablespoon extra virgin olive oil. Wrap each piece of fish tightly in aluminum foil and place in the oven on a low heat (300 degrees). If the fish is thawed, cook for about 15 minutes. Dinner is ready when the fish is flaky but still moist.<\/span> <\/li><li><b style=\"font-size: inherit\"><strong>Lamb and potatoes.<\/strong><\/b><span style=\"font-size: inherit\"><strong> <\/strong>(If you can keep some parboiled red potatoes on hand, you can prepare fast and easy meals.) Form ground lamb into small meatballs. Tear fresh basil into slivers, or use a pinch of dried basil. Slice pre-cooked red potatoes into small pieces. Slice a clove of garlic. Warm extra virgin olive oil in a skillet. Saut&eacute; garlic and basil on a medium heat for five minutes. Add lamb and brown. Add potatoes; cover for 10 minutes. Toss ingredients; add a dash of ground pepper. Cook for an additional five minutes.<\/span> <\/li><li><b style=\"font-size: inherit\"><strong>Shrimp and pasta. <\/strong><\/b><span style=\"font-size: inherit\">Heat a pat of butter and one tablespoon olive oil in a saucepan. Add chopped fresh herbs, garlic and a handful of shrimp. Toss and cook until shrimp is done. Place on a bed of pasta and top with chopped fresh tomatoes.<\/span> <\/li><li><b style=\"font-size: inherit\"><strong>Liver and fennel.<\/strong><\/b><span style=\"font-size: inherit\"> Place liver slices in a skillet with extra virgin olive oil. Top with chopped fennel, red onion and cabbage. Cover and steam until liver is tender. <\/span><\/li><li><b style=\"font-size: inherit\"><strong>Beans and rice. <\/strong><\/b><span style=\"font-size: inherit\">Heat up a can of black, pinto or white beans. Serve with brown rice, oats or barley. You can warm the meal in a crockpot and serve later.<\/span> <\/li><li><b style=\"font-size: inherit\"><strong>Shrimp and fresh greens.<\/strong> <\/b><span style=\"font-size: inherit\">Saut&eacute; fresh vegetables in a saucepan (again, you can buy pre-cut veggies)&nbsp;with olive oil. Add cocktail shrimp, which can be bought peeled, cooked and chilled. Serve with a berry vinaigrette salad dressing and lime slices.<\/span> <\/li><li><b style=\"font-size: inherit\"><strong>Southwest chicken salad.<\/strong> <\/b><span style=\"font-size: inherit\">Cook boneless, skinless chicken breast on a medium heat in a skillet with extra virgin olive oil. Add salsa. Shred chicken and reserve in refrigerator to use for wraps, salad or soup.<\/span> <\/li><\/ol><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-eat-in-between-meals\" data-toc-id=\"8ec6b2b3\"><b>What to eat in between meals<\/b><\/h2><p>Karr recommends incorporating nutritional snacks in between meals, such as high-fiber rye crisps with Swiss cheese or guacamole on top. And, while seniors do need to stay well-hydrated, they are better off taking small sips during the day in order to avoid frequent sprints to the bathroom. Karr says that a glass of water kept by their favorite chair is the answer.<\/p><p>To avoid stomach upset, the water should be room temperature or warm. Add in some lemon, lime or a few berries for extra flavor, and they can take small sips all day to stay sufficiently hydrated.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What Can I Do To Maintain Mental Health? \/\/\/ The Hard Questions\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0Tv5SYB6ZoY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-cooking-is-no-longer-an-option\" data-toc-id=\"2d6091ef\"><b>When cooking is no longer an option<\/b><\/h2><p>Be alert for signs that an older loved one might not be as handy &mdash; or safe &mdash; in the kitchen as they once were.
