Table 2.

Calculated Nutrition Intake Per Treatment Group Based on IBW

Group Protein Goal (g/kg) CHO (g/kg) Lipid (g/kg) Calories (kcal/kg) Volume (mL/hr)
Control 1.5 2.6 0.8 23.4 75.0
Experimental 1.5 1.2 0.6 16.3 51.6
Percent difference experimental vs control 0 −53 −22 −30 −31

A different volume of the control and experimental formulas was necessary to achieve adequate protein goals (1.5 g/kg/d IBW) as is demonstrated for a theoretical 75‐kg individual. Differences in the delivery of total calories, carbohydrates, and lipids are also described. IBW, ideal body weight.
