Nutritional Project

This document presents information on liquid and soft diets. It defines liquid and soft diets, outlines conditions that necessitate their use, and provides sample menu plans and nutritional information for both diets. Liquid diets consist of only fluids or foods that become liquid at room temperature, while soft diets contain soft, low-fiber, easily digestible foods. These therapeutic diets are commonly used following surgeries or for illnesses that make eating solid foods difficult. The document also lists foods to avoid on each diet and nutrient contents of common foods included.

semisolid foods.
