Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To increase Ms. Arther's caloric intake, a high-fat ingredient like half-and-half would be the best choice. It would also add a creamy texture to the pudding, which may make it more appealing to her given her current anorexia. Sour cream may be too tangy and heavy, while 2% milk and vitamin D milk are both low-fat options that would not significantly increase the pudding's calorie count. Powdered milk can be used to add calories to dishes, but it may alter the taste and texture of the pudding.
