What may be decreased or increased in an energy-modified diet?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Calories
An energy-modified diet changes the total calorie content according to the person’s health goal and physiological needs. Calories may be increased when additional energy is needed for undernutrition, recovery, or weight gain, or reduced when controlled weight loss is advised. The change must preserve adequate protein, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients rather than simply removing food.
