DIET LISTS.
Attention is called to the fact that the protein allowance in the
following diets is not large. The first two tables represent fast
days; the next six are transitional days, in which the nourishment is
gradually increased but does not satisfy the caloric needs. The
remainder may be selected according to the needs of the case or the
weight of the patient.
To prevent monotony or to give variety, one meat may be substituted
for another, or one "5%" vegetable for another. The fat may be
increased by the addition of butter or olive oil if more calories are
needed to maintain body weight. However, it is not considered
desirable to give so much fat that the weight will increase.
