| 1. A ready-to-feed liquid composition comprising:
(a) protein which represents from about 10 to about 35% of total calories,
(b) fat which represents less than about 37% of total calories, and
(c) carbohydrate which represents from about 25% to about 75% of total calories, said carbohydrate including a polymer controlled
induced viscosity fiber system which represents at least 30 w/w % of total carbohydrates in the liquid composition, the fiber
system including
(d) neutral soluble dietary fiber selected from the group consisting of guar gum, pectin, locust bean gum, methylcellulose,
and mixtures thereof, and
(e) hydrolyzed starch having a DP of at least 10 in a weight ratio of the neutral soluble fiber to the hydrolyzed starch of
from about 0.35:5.0 to about 1:5.0
wherein the liquid composition has a ready-to-feed viscosity of less than 200 cps and an in vivo viscosity of at least 300
cps.
