Calculate Mr. Y's energy and protein needs post MI and recommend a caloric intake level for him. Show what stress factor you would use
136 = IBW 136 × 10 =1360 (rough estimation of BMR)
136 × 3 = 408 to 136 × 5 = 680 (IBW × activity/stress factor )
1360 + 408 or 680 = 1768 - 2040 kcals
Immediately post MI = stress factor of 1.5 During rehab, 1.3 . For protein, wt in kg × 1.2 immediately post MI and 0.8 g/kg later.
