My husband has been told to cut out salt and reduce fluids to 1.5lt a day due to ascites, but increase protein and carbs and calories intake to around 3000 a day to maintain his weight. He is struggling with this as he has never had a big appetite and would happily exist on bread and sausage. He is type 2 diabetic but since he has cut out alcohol and eaten more cake and chocolate his diabetes has strangely stabilised to the point where his medication has been stopped.My question is, is anyone successfully on a low salt high calorie diet and if so, what would be a typical day's meals and snacks for you? There is a guide in the book we have been given for snacks but not actual meals. Thank you.

Aldi sell some lovel yogurt pouches that contain 25g of protein. You can eat them in the go and I’ve found they can help to increase your protein intake.
I add ground roast peanut powder to yoghurts and breakfasts to try to increase the protein. Snack on nuts, dates, avocado and I do some little protein balls with, oats, sultanas, peanut butter and honey. Lentils and beans are great for soups or curries. See if you can get in with a dietician to help. Good luck.
