Described herein are liquid nutritional formulas, such as liquid ketogenic formulas, useful, for example, for management of intractable epilepsy. A ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet whose consumption shifts metabolism from glycolysis (the metabolism of carbohydrates) and favors ketosis, the metabolism of fatty-acid derived ketone bodies. A ketogenic diet is useful as an alternative therapeutic option for patients with intractable epilepsy and is often the sole source of nutrition, particularly for infants and children.
