Met-Rx.

One of the few really good, complete liquid meal replacements!
Better than Ensure or Boost any day of the week. :-)

Also, anything by EAS. Both are fortified so are actually food
replacement shakes.

There are a lot of good total meal replacement shakes and bars now
available at GNC. They are for bodybuilding so FAR superior
nutritionally to most of the high sugar crap sold at Pharmacies for the elderly.

I cook for an elderly dad, and am so VERY glad that he lives here with
me! It makes it easier. :-)

Healthy choice frozen meals are ok, but tend to be a bit high in sodium.

You can, however, get some ideas by looking thru the frozen dinner area
of the grocery store.

Rubbermade sells divided plastic freezer storage containers.

Spagetti and other pasta dishes usually freeze well, and/or you could
use some pre-frozen veggies to add to the dishes. Pasta is also a high
energy food since you say they are getting thin, and it's easy to make
it tasty with a variety of different sauces.
