Summary

Hospital undernutrition is a common health problem \[1\]. As a countermeasure, French hospitals have created a system of cross-function committees for feeding and nutrition called CLANs \[Comité de Liaison pour l'alimentation et la nutrition\] \[2\]. Potential actions for improving patient nutritional status include improving the characteristics of the food provided to increase both protein and calorie intake in at-risk patients that do not require enteral or parenteral nutrition. Looking at the various daily meals, the investigators considered that breakfast following the night fast would be the easiest meal to improve .
