Standard Nutrition Arm - In INTENT (the parent study) participants will be randomised to the i) Standard Nutrition or ii) Intensive Nutrition arm. A brief description of each is below.

In ICU:

1. After enrolment, patients allocated to the standard nutrition therapy (control) group will commence or continue nutrition via an enteral tube to a target rate according to unit protocol including the use of promotility agents and the placement of nasojejunal feeding tubes if required.
2. Parenteral Nutrition (PN) will only be used if the above methods have been attempted, or an absolute contraindication to enteral nutrition (EN) develops.

After ICU:

1. Nutrition management will be as per usual site management at that hospital.

Intensive Nutrition Arm - In ICU:

1. Supplemental PN will be commenced within 2 hours of randomisation. The starting dose will be determined by the amount of energy received in the 24 hours prior to randomisation
2. The need for the intervention will be based on the adequacy of nutrition provision and assessed daily until ICU discharge
3. If there is an interruption of EN for greater than 2 hours the PN must be run at 20 kcal/kg calculated body weight until EN is recommenced. After the interruption, EN should be recommenced as per local protocol.

After ICU:

1. An intensive nutrition intervention will be provided on the ward.

The goal of nutrition care across the hospital stay will be to ensure 80-100% of participant's estimated energy requirements are met.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
* Randomised to the INTENT trial at a participating sub-study site
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
* Patients will be excluded from the sub-study if they have any of the following:

* A pacemaker or electronic implantable device
* Missing limb(s)
* Unable to get adequate separation in the limbs (e.g. severe obesity)
* Inaccessible site(s) for electrode placement (e.g. major burns, trauma)
* Broken skin at the site(s) of electrode placement
* The treating clinician does not believe the study to be in the best interest of the patient
* Person responsible/Medical treatment decision maker is of non-English speaking background (therefore cannot provide informed consent) Note Before: If the Person responsible/medical treatment decision maker is of English speaking background but the patient is not (and the Person responsible/Medical treatment decision maker speaks the same language as the patient) you may continue assessing the patient for eligibility to INTENT-Muscle as the Person Responsible/Medical treatment decision maker can translate the Patient Information and Consent Form (PICF) and consent discussion with the patient in order to obtain continuing consent)
