Semi-liquid diet is a diet between soft rice and liquid. It is easier to chew and digest than soft rice. The fiber content is very small, but it contains enough protein and heat energy. Commonly used nutritious semi-liquid foods include meat floss porridge, noodle soup, wontons, cakes, small soup dumplings, etc.

Liquid diet means that the food is in a liquid state, without any residue, and is easy to swallow and digest. Commonly used nutritious liquid foods include rice soup, lotus root paste, milk, soy milk, tender eggs stewed in fresh soup, fruit juice, fresh orange juice, broth, etc. Because liquid meals provide less calories and protein, they cannot be consumed for a long time.
