What is the GOLD STANDARD for
Estimating Energy Requirements?
INDIRECT CALORIMETRY
Harris-Benedict
Fixed kcal/kg/day
Mifflin-St Jeor
Penn State Uni Predictive equations
Healthy + Normal Nutrition Status
How many kcal/kg/day does
ASPEN & SCCM recommend?
energy requirements
20-25

first determine if obese or not
use ACTUAL BODY WEIGHT

Fixed kcal/kg
Calculation used for ENERGY REQUIREMENTS
WEIGHT used for OBESE PATIENTS
Ranges are availble for
Both ABW & IBW
Confirm weight used to derive calorie range before using
During periods of inadequate protein or energy intake,
what type of CATABOLISM occurs FIRST?
MUSCLE CATABOLISM –> AMINO ACIDS
- *<75g** of skeletal muscle protein is catabolized to
- *supply AA precursors** for liver gluconeogenesis & energy production
Protein Depletion >20% of body stores will lead to:
VVV
Comprimised IMMUNE SYSTEM –> INFXN & DEATH
Mild Protein Depletion
Albumin > 3.0 g/dL
What are the DAILY PROTEIN REQUIREMENTS?
1.1-1.3
g/kg/d
Need Normal Renal & Hepatic Function
Use ACTUAL BODY WEIGHT, unless OBESE –> IBW if obese
Obesity hypocaloric feeding regimens require HIGHER protein amounts
