Can you give us a bit more information about the situation? Are there any medical reason? Has the person had a swallowing evaluation (this is completed by a speech pathologist)?
With my mom, I offer her small amounts every couple of hours. Create smoothies and offer those. Ensure plus has a large amount of calories. We have a honey bear therapy cup for my mom too...a slight squeeze send water into her mouth. I put ensure and sugar in her coffee. I give her Greek yogurt (look for one high in protein) with honey and fresh berries. Bananas, avocado, try a variety of different thinks. My mom really likes canned mini raviolis and canned peaches. Good luck
