If you have liver cirrhosis, it's important to get enough calories and high quality protein each day. This can help prevent malnutrition and preserve lean body mass — the part of your body that isn't fat. Eat foods higher in protein and lower in sodium Cirrhosis is a catabolic disease, meaning that you are burning a lot of energy. For this reason, your calorie and protein needs are higher than before. Supplementation with branched-chain amino acids plus a high-fiber, high-protein diet is a safe intervention in patients with cirrhosis. It helps increase muscle mass and does not raise the levels of ammonia or glucose, nor is it associated with the development of hepatic encephalopathy.
