5-7 portions of fruit and vegetables per day
- Tip: Eat a variety of different colours as they will provide your body with different nutrients!
3-5 portions of carbohydrates per day
- E.g. wholegrain bread, potatoes, pasta and rice
3 portions of calcium per day

High Protein & High Calorie Diet

This diet is a diet that is high in protein and calories (energy). For a high protein and high calorie diet, it is recommended to consume 3 meals and 2-3 snacks each day. If your appetite is reduced then a small and often approach may be beneficial, ensuring that you are eating foods high in protein and calories regularly throughout the day.

Food fortification can play a role in increasing both calorie and protein content of foods and should be considered if you are not meeting nutritional requirements from food alone. Food fortification is when additional substances – such as butter, cream, milk or cheese – are added to food or drinks to increase the calorie and protein content. An example is fortified milk, made by adding skimmed milk powder to whole milk.

If nutritional requirements cannot be met through diet and food fortification, there may be a need for oral nutritional supplements – nutritional drinks that provide additional energy, protein, minerals and vitamins. The use of these should be discussed with a dietitian or GP first.
