“…Of the 33 studies, 10 were not isoenergetic [39,41,44,46,64,71,73,75,80,81] and additionally a further three [58,59,77] did not provide sufficient detail to ascertain this. A number of the studies also failed to assess actual intake (as distinct from prescribed intake) [54,56,57,59,61,64,74,78,80]. This is not only relevant for oral diets where intake is voluntary, but also in non-volitional feeding (enteral or parenteral) where intake may be interrupted for various reasons including tube problems, medication administration, surgical procedures, and poor tolerance of the nutrition.…”
