When eating is difficult
>1.2 g/kg/day
- Cancer and its treatment contribute to muscle loss. Protein targets during cancer care often exceed 1.2 g/kg/day.
- High-protein supplementation (>10 g/serving) mitigates weight loss, improves strength and lowers hospitalisation rates. Orsso et al., 2024
- Small 5 g or 10 g increments are easier to tolerate with poor appetite or early satiety.
