Both groups received 40 g (20 g in the morning and 20 g in the evening) for 15 days. Nutritional and functional status were evaluated. Energy balance was calculated as the difference between energy intake (24-hour recall) and total energy expenditure (assessed by indirect calorimetry). The chronic liver disease questionnaire was used to assess HRQoL. All measurements were performed before and after the intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Results:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fifty-six patients were evaluated. Malnutrition was present in 56.9%, and it was directly associated with a poor HRQoL (p&lt;0.05). No improvement on the nutritional and functional status was observed, in either group after protein supplementation. HRQoL improved after WP and casein supplementation, with no differences between groups (p&gt;0.05). Patients who met protein requirements and had a positive energy balance demonstrated a higher HRQoL score (4.9, p&lt;0.05), without between-group differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Malnutrition substantially reduces HRQoL.
