See if you can find any foods with fat content. It has twice the calories as carbs and protein. Peanut butter, anything with oil content. Food with lots of butter. Without any taste there is no joy in eating, so it becomes a job. It does not get easier until a couple weeks after treatment ends, so he just needs to force as many calories down as possible. The doctors can also place a tube to get food directly into him.
