Calculate energy and protein requirement for Mrs. Williams. Explain how you determined these recommendations
What will be an ideal response?
• Standard calculations for Mrs. Williams' needs can be used. For energy requirements, a 25-30 kcal/kg nomogram or the Harris-Benedict equation for females can be used. For protein requirements, a 0.8-1.0 g/kg nomogram would be appropriate. A physical activity factor of 1.3 should be used considering her relatively low-active work environment and assumptions based upon her ailment/symptoms and age.
• Energy Requirements:
REE = 655.1 + 9.6 W (kg) + 1.9 S (cm) - 4.7 A (yrs)
REE = 655.1 + 9.6 x 57.3 kg + 1.9 x 167.64 cm - 4.7 x 49 yrs
REE = 1283.8 ≈ 1300 kcal
TEE = 1283.8 x 1.3 (PA) = 1668.9 ≈ 1700 kcal; range of 1600-1800 kcal/day
57.3 kg x 25-30 kcal/kg = 1432.5-1719 kcal ≈ 1450 - 1700 kcal/day
• Protein Requirements:
57.3 kg x 0.8 g/kg = 46-57 g/day
