Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main objective of this study was to evaluate and compare 6-month calorie intakes between a group of patients receiving a standard dinner and a group of patients whose evening meal is "improved"; compliance will be assessed on a food card with 5 levels of consumption: no (0%), 25%, 50%, 75%, all (100%). This per patient per meal food card will be prepared 3 days per month for 6 months and will, from the total calorie intake of each dish, estimate calorie intake ingested per day on all meals of the day.
