He still becomes short of breath when talking or eating. Because of this, the nurse recommends a high-fat, high-protein diet because: 1. This will allow him to gain weight and develop muscle to help with recovery. 2. Both foods have "more calories per bite" allowing him to eat less but still get enough calories. 3. He is elderly and does not have to be worried about his risk for developing heart disease. 4. Foods high in protein and fats are easier to digest and less likely to cause indigestion.
