Small, frequent meals: Eating smaller portions more often can help maintain calorie intake. Nutrient-dense snacks: Include snacks like nuts, yogurt, and smoothies to add extra calories and nutrients. Pleasant eating environment: Creating a comfortable and relaxing setting can make meals more enjoyable. Flavor enhancement: Using herbs and spices can improve the taste of food. Supplements: Nutritional supplements may be recommended by healthcare providers to meet dietary needs.
