“Start low and go slow” methods of nutritional rehabilitation, also called refeeding, have recently been challenged, and more rapid provision of calories with close medical monitoring is now the evidence-based recommendation during inpatient treatment. Recent studies have suggested safe outcomes with daily calorie start ranges from 1600 – 2400 with increases of 200 – 500 calories every 1 – 3 days, with close monitoring of AST, ALT, magnesium, and phosphorus to detect and prevent sequelae of refeeding syndrome.
