If a patient is on a soft diet but receives low protein, what is the best approach?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Include soft protein sources
Texture modification should not unnecessarily reduce nutrient quality. Soft protein choices such as well-cooked and mashed pulses, curd, paneer when tolerated, eggs, smooth nut pastes, or prescribed supplements can improve protein intake. The exact choice depends on swallowing ability, medical condition, tolerance, and dietitian advice.
