I would drink Ensure Plus rather than Ensure. It's about 350 calories per can so you need less cans and in my opinion tastes much better. I would avoid the strawberry flavor. IMO it is awful. Vanilla, coffee and butter pecan were my favorites. I managed on about 1500-1800 calories a day with no peg and only loss 5 pounds, but I'm only 5'5 and 120 pounds.
Take care,
Eileen
