Nutrition therapy has an important role in burn care to optimize wound healing, prevent muscle wasting, improve immune function and decrease risk of infection and sepsis. The body of literature concerning major burns´nutritional requirements has increased over the last decades, however the role of nutrition after minor burns (TBSA \< 20 %) is virtually unexplored and in need of further investigation. Hence, this study explores if adequate nutritional status after minor burn results in better outcome.
