Types of Diets : Any nutritional care plan involves providing for adequate
intake of all nutrients vis-à-vis the requirements based on age, sex,
physiological state, occupation and health status.
z A standard or regular diet is one that includes all groups of foods and
meets the needs of healthy individuals.
z Modified diets are those that are adjusted to meet the medical
needs of a patient, which may involve one or more of the following:
(1) change in consistency and/or texture (e.g., fluid and soft diets),
(2) an increase or decrease in the energy (Calorie) intake, (3) include
greater or lesser amounts of one or more nutrients e.g., increase in
protein intake in case of surgery, lower protein intake in case of kidney
failure, high or low in fibre, lower fat intake, restriction in sodium
intake, restriction in fluid intake, restricted intake of certain foods as
these may be rich in a non-nutritive dietary constituent e.g., spinach,
because spinach is rich in oxalates and (4) change in the number of
meals, or modification in intervals of feeding and/or amount of food
given or special plan for patients when route of feeding is altered.
