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.
