Nutritional Challenges
Tips to help increase the calories in the diet:
- Fats and sugars provide energy and help food to taste good. Use generously.
- Adults over 65 should restrict their consumption of fats, especially saturated fat, but getting the proper dose of nutrients is equally important. - Have a pudding once or twice a day, such as yogurt, milky puddings, ice cream, trifle, cake, fruit pie, sponge puddings with custard, ready prepared desserts. Cakes, biscuits, chocolate and crisps provide extra energy when eaten with meals. Take care that they do not spoil the appetite for more nourishing foods, though. Watch fat and sugar carefully.
- Enriched nourishing drinks, which are available from pharmacies and supermarkets, may be taken between meals to increase calorie intake, but they should not replace meals. Recommend 100% juice
- Alcohol in small amounts can actually stimulate the appetite. Check with your doctor first if you are taking medication.
