They can supply 0.5 to 0.8 grams of fat per kilogram of body weight per day, and it is advisable to choose vegetable oils or foods containing unsaturated fatty acids. The daily carbohydrate supply should be controlled at 2 to 4 grams per kilogram of body weight.

High-protein foods can protect liver cells, promote their repair and regeneration, and help the patient's recovery. Protein-rich foods mainly include lean meat, fish, shrimp, poultry, dairy products, soy products, and fresh vegetables, especially green leafy vegetables, which can meet the body's needs for vitamins. However, it is not advisable to eat too much vegetables and fruits that are high in sugar.
