Confused diets for MG

Hello, I'm new here, and I wanna ask some questions for my father who's suffering with MG. He was diagnosed with MG for over ten years and the only obvious symptom is a weakness of eye muscles. Recently, things go worse and he realized that his limbs muscles are emaciated, especially small muscles such as fingers (His hands shaking, and with that it's harder to hold spoon or toothbrush etc.)

He was diagnosed with cirrhosis, too. Now I'm very worried about his diets. He shouldn't eat much meat due to cirrhosis, but he needs protein for his muscles, right? Now he has egg white daily and different kinds of meat each day for protein, he also has mixed nuts occasionally. Oh, and he rides a bike or swimming everyday or so.

Any recommendations for his diets? Please? I don't want to see him sitting in a wheel chair, unable to do things he once did. Thanks in advance.
