Study Notes
High Calorie Diets
- Increase caloric intake by 500-1000 kcal from usual intake.
- Aim for 1-2 pounds of weight gain per week.
- Useful for preparing patients for surgery.
- Calculate total calories and add 500-1000 kcal.
- If underweight, use actual weight and add 500-1000 kcal (if difference between desired body weight (DBW) and actual weight (AW) is significant).
- Refeeding syndrome can occur with rapid calorie increases.
Patients Who Need High Calorie Diets
- Weight gain
- Anorexia
- Increased metabolic rate (fever, infection, hyperthyroidism, surgery, trauma, burns)
- Pregnancy (300 kcal), lactation (500 kcal), infancy, childhood.
Low Calorie Diets
- Decrease caloric intake by 500-1000 kcal from usual intake.
- Often managed in consultation with dietitians.
- Determine timeline to achieve desired body weight (DBW).
- Use actual body weight (ABW) and subtract 500-1000 calories.
- Do not subtract if using desired body weight (DBW).
Patients Who Need Low Calorie Diets
- Weight loss
- Decreased metabolic rate (hyperthyroidism)
High Carbohydrate Diets
- Increase carbohydrate intake from usual intake.
- Suitable for maintaining sufficient energy requirements.
Patients Who Need High Carbohydrate Diets
- Sports nutrition
- COPD (higher respiratory quotient)
- Type 2 diabetes (consistent carbohydrate intake)
- Gestational diabetes mellitus (Nausea caused by low blood sugar level)
Low Carbohydrate Diets
- Decrease carbohydrate intake.
Patients Who Need Low Carbohydrate Diets
- COPD (higher respiratory quotient), Type 2 diabetes and Gestational diabetes mellitus
High Protein Diets
- Increase protein intake by 50-100% from usual intake.
- Recommend 1.2-2g/kg body weight per day.
- Often part of a sports nutrition plan.
- Contains higher-fat content.
- Crucial for optimal quality.
Patients Who Need High Protein Diets
- Growth
- Pregnancy
- Lactation
- Malnutrition
- Burns
- Surgery
- Fractures
- Fever
- Infections
Low Protein Diets
- Decrease protein intake by 0.6-0.8g/kg body weight daily.
- Suitable for those on a high-protein plan, HBV, and other needs.
Gluten Enteropathy
- Avoid wheat, buckwheat, barley, rye, oats (unless labeled gluten-free).
Foods to Avoid/Foods to Control
- Foods high in gluten, lactose, oxalate, or purines may need to be restricted.
- Other dietary restrictions will exist depending on the patient's needs.
Other Dietary Restrictions
- High Fat: Increase fat intake; use medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs); avoid saturated and trans fats.
- Low Fat: Decrease fat intake to less than 30% of total calories; limit saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol intake.
- High Protein: Increase protein to 50-100% above usual intake, for certain health conditions.
- Low Protein: Decrease protein intake to specific levels.
- Renal: Protein controlled for renal disease.
- Oxalate Controlled: Low oxalate diet.
- Low Purine: Reduce purine intake (for gout).
