                                Individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) may have a resting metabolic rate up to 20% higher than the general population due to muscle fasciculations and the increased effort required for breathing. Therefore, the best diet for ALS patients is typically a high-calorie, nutrient-dense plan aimed at maintaining body weight and energy levels to support overall function.
