Summary

The objective of this study is to investigate whether a protein-enriched daily menu is acceptable and effective in increasing protein intake in elderly in a residential care home up to an intake of 1,2 gram/ kg body weight per day.

The investigators hypothesise that when elderly eat 2 slices of bread, 1 portion of juice and 1 portion of soup each day, the protein intake can be increased by at least 20 grams/day. On average this can lead to an intake of 1,2 gram/ kg body weight per day.
