hello @Shaz51 and all
when my father was in hospital he had fluid on the lungs and water was measured in a jug. once drunk that was it.
as Darcy mentioned find out if there is a measurement allowed as in 1 litre and then divide that up into meal times or meal times plus morning and evening.

That's a lot of orange vegetables @Shaz51. I had chickpea and feta patties on multigrain rolls with green leaves and avocado.

All depends on the fast food @clairesy. Sushi would be fine, KFC probably not.
