  2. Baked chicken, red beans, brown rice, skim milk, fresh fruit
  3. Veal chops, tossed salad, squash casserole, whole milk, peach cobbler

Rationale: A high-protein, high-carbohydrate diet supplies the nutrients needed for wound healing. Baked chicken with red beans and rice provides quality protein and complex carbohydrates for healing. Fried chicken and whole milk have too much fat, and there are no complex carbohydrates in this selection. Veal chops contain whole milk, which should be avoided due to high fat content, and this selection also contains no complex carbohydrate choices for energy production. The baked chicken, slaw, and vegetables are a healthy choice, but do not contain enough protein or carbohydrates.
