Advice · Delidose
Count your chevrons.
On every Delical product, chevrons show the amount of protein: 1, 2 or 3. Add up the chevrons on your supplements for the day to reach your Delidose, the number of chevrons you need.
At least 3 chevrons a day.
If you are malnourished, the European clinical nutrition guidelines (ESPEN) recommend that supplements provide at least 30 g of protein and 400 kcal a day. That is the basic guide: 3 chevrons. Your doctor may prescribe more.
- 3chevrons a day, as a minimum
- 30 gof protein
- 400kcal, on top of meals
Calculate your Delidose for the day.
Enter your prescribed Delidose, then the supplements you take in a day.

Good to know.
Your prescription comes first
Your doctor or dietitian sets your Delidose according to your needs. The 3-chevron guide is a minimum if you are malnourished.
To suit your tastes
Combine products however you like: a drink in the morning, a creamy dessert in the afternoon. Only the total number of chevrons counts.
Simple monitoring
Weigh yourself regularly and report any weight loss. Your Delidose can be adjusted along the way.
