[/quote]Overdue to see new nutritionist. He needs more calories. Fat and proteins have twice the calories than carbohydrates. As long his stomach can digest them try blending up some things with peanut butter, other nuts, any oils, etc. You can pack a lot more calories into the same volume. Get a new nutritionist and make sure they have good suggestions and alternatives for him. Don
