.High energy foods can help people

.High energy foods can help people to maintain their weight, but Dr Shaw notes that it is sometimes hard to know what to eat.
Many of her patients eat a lot of soup.
"It's liquid, it goes down easily, it's a prime choice. But, as a dietician, I will often talk to them about the fact that soup is often low in energy, and it's often low in protein.
"So people might be using it as a replacement for a meal, but it's not providing the same nourishment as a meal.'
Other high energy meals such as roasted chicken, or more nutritious soups, are advised.
