Calculate GW's caloric and protein needs
BEE = 66 + [13.7 × wt] + [5 × ht] - [6.8 × age]
= 66 + [13.7 × 56.8] + [5 × 170] – [6.8 × 75]
= 66 + 778 + 850 – 510
= 1118
Considering he is now down to 125, needs to gain weight, has surgery to recover from, chemotherapy, and another surgery down the road, I would use a stress factor of 1.5 . However, from the interview I would conclude his caloric and protein requirements to be unrealistic to reach with po feedings. The realistic approach would be to get GW to eat as much as possible of a high-caloric, high-protein diet. I would encourage between-meal snacks with a formula high in antioxidants, ?3 fatty acids, and arginine.
