Other: Standard of care menu · Other: Self report dietary intake worksheet · Other: Post study questionnaire
* Calorie count and tool provided on day +1 and ending upon count recovery * Symptom worksheet initiated on day +1 of transplant and ending upon count recovery (absolute neutrophil count of 1000) * Goals to monitor: calorie and protein intake, self-reported diarrhea and nausea * Interventions provided for intervention group: standard of care provided by BJH oncology dietitians, tools including nausea and diarrhea menus and follow up by registered dietitian (RD) to provide additional counseling on menus as symptoms arise
