also i cannot say enuff good things about chocolate milk from the calories to the taste and most important the viscosity has really helped me with my swallowing. I added protein to it for awhile. After he gets a little better hash brown with country gravy is easy to get down add some poached eggs to go with it. Lots of butter on everything. I have been eating like this since Jan. had my cholesterol checked 202 bp is like 117 over 78 not bad for a 54 year old cancer survivor. make a chart of what he actually consume and how often. btw chocolate milk from the store is what works best quick and the like added to the milk does not have the required viscosity it was chalky tried it to save money didn't work for me
