Dietary adviceAs many of the patients did not manage to eat large portions, they were often advisedto have an energy-dense diet to satisfy their energy requirements. The easiest way toincrease the energy content of food is to add fat. In the recommendations for diets inSwedish hospitals (100), the recommended level of fat in an energy-dense diet is 35energy per cent (E%). This should be compared with the Nordic recommendation forhealthy people, which is<30% (40). To increase energy intake, the patients were alsocounselled to have more sweet drinks and desserts, in contrast to the dietary advice tohealthy people. The patients were told to have small but frequent meals, and to usecommercial supplements and enrichments, both liquid and in powder form.
