This is a Randomized Controlled Trial . The purpose of this study is to assess the hypothesis that whether a high protein diet combined with a physical activity protocol in surgical cancer patients admitted to the ICU in the post operative period is associated with better physical function at the hospital discharge as well as a better quality of life.

Surgical cancer patients will be categorized by their nutritional risk using a specific screening toll. During the hospital stay some measurements will be done. Such as resting energy expenditure (REE) before and after surgery; physical function evaluation; strength and quality of life.

The proposed intervention is a post operative diet with a different amount of protein (diet with a standard amount of protein and a diet with high amount of protein) associated to an institutional protocol of physical activity.

Protein Intake Associated With Physical Activity Related to Specific Outcomes

The Efficiency of Different Amount of Protein Intake Associated With a Physical Activity Protocol in Surgical Cancer Patients Admitted to the Intensive Care Unit : Randomized Controlled Trial

6-minute walk test after 30 days the date of randomization;

Measurement of quality of life using the Euro-Qol 5D-5L index. EQ-5D-5L index includes five questions concerning mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. A summary utility index value can be computed from subject's response to these five questions. Values range from -0.594 (worst possible health score) to 0 (death) to 1.000 (best health).

Starts in the first day of hospitalization and ends on the day of hospital discharge
