Any suggestions on how many calories a day a person with ALS should be taken in daily. My brother had his peg tube placed recently and has started on Jevity. He was is still eating but appetite has decreased and chewing is more difficult. I am worried that he is not getting enough calories to maintain his weight. He has lost a lot since being diagnosed. I know people with ALS need more calories to sustain weight but how many is needed.
