Calculate the kilocalories and protein RK was receiving from the 1.5 kcal/cc feeding at 35cc/h half-strength and at 50cc/hr full-strength
30 cc/h × 24 hr = 720 ÷ 2 for half strength = 360 cc
360 @ L.5 kcals/cc = 540 kcals
360 = .36 L × 54.9 g/L = 19.8 g protein
50 cc/h × 24 = 1200 cc
1200 × 1.5 kcals/cc = 1800 kcals
1.2 L × 54.9 g/L = 66 g protein
