Example of a refeeding process in terms of macronutrient and micronutrient intake [19].

Days	Recommendations
Day 1–3	Start with 10–15 kcal/kg (600–1000 kcal/day). Prophylactic electrolyte supplementation (P, K, Mg). Thiamine (200–300 mg/day). Vitamins (200% RDI). Minerals and trace elements (100% RDI). Restrict the contribution of fluids to a zero balance. Restrict sodium to <1 mmol/kg/day. Glucose and electrolyte levels and the appearance of oedema should be adequately monitored, since the highest risk of RS occurs in these early days.
Day 4–10	Calorie intake will increase to allow weight gain, continuing with electrolyte, vitamin and mineral supplementation and close monitoring.
