When might it be necessary to increase a clients calorie or fat intake?

It may be necessary to increase a client's calorie or fat intake during periods of growth, such as in children or adolescents, to support healthy development. Additionally, individuals engaged in intense physical training or those looking to gain muscle mass may require higher caloric and fat intake to fuel their energy needs and optimize recovery. Clients experiencing weight loss, increased metabolic demands due to illness, or those recovering from surgery may also benefit from a calorie or fat increase to promote healing and restore energy balance.
