Sperimentale: FoodforCare group
The intervention group will receive meals from FoodforCare at Home.
The FoodforCare at Home concept consists of five to six small protein and energy enriched meals that will be delivered twice a week.
After an individual intake, the composition of the dishes will be tailored to the needs of the patient in terms of composition, diet, taste, flavor and portion size.
Besides the meals, patients in the intervention group will also receive an information leaflet about the importance of protein during treatment and how to reach their protein requirements.
|
Five small protein rich meals that will be delivered twice a week for 3 weeks.
|
|
Nessun intervento: Usual care group
The control group will continue their usual diet for 3 weeks and have no restrictions to their diet.
