This may be a challenge for hospitalized patients due to the low protein content and the lack of Essential Amino Acids (EAA) in individual plant-derived sources in combination with anabolic resistance during disease. Yet, there is little knowledge about the effect on protein- and amino acid intake among hospitalized patients as we shift to more plant-derived diets. Therefore, this observational study examines (plant- and animal) protein intake and Amino Acid Scores (AAS) of predominantly plant- and animal derived meals in a large university hospital.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>Food intake data were collected through direct observation in non-critically ill adult patients between October and November 2023.
