The clear liquid diet consists of foods such as tea, broth, carbonated beverages, clear juices without pulp, and gelatin.As a result, this diet is very nutritionally incomplete and usually only provides 500 to 600 kcal and 5 to 10 g protein.Ideally, a patient should be transitioned to a more nutritionally complete diet as soon as the patient can tolerate more solid foods.
