Abstract	Involuntary weight loss (IWL) is common in the North American elderly population and affects as many as 60 per cent of nursing home residents, representing a threat to health and function. Investigation into nutrient provision in a long-term care (LTC) centre showed that mean total energy exposure over the 5-week menu cycle differed significantly between regular and pureed diet orders, with lower mean levels of exposure to all three macronutrients on a pureed diet order. There is sufficient evidence that current LTC menus may provide fewer nutrients in those receiving pureed diets that further investigation in this area is warranted. (As Provided).
