My husband avoids protein for about an hour before and an hour after meals. Other than that he has a regular amount of protein at every meal and a protein shake as a snack during the day. Was it a doctor who told your husband to avoid protein?

Best of luck.

@jtes yes, his doctor said minimal protein and then only turkey/chicken or cod/salmon. So in addition to suffering from the terrible motor and non motor symptoms of Parkinson's his diet is now so restricted. Apparently Ensure has too much protein! What can he eat that gives him energy and some joy? It's so sad and hopeless.
