BMR Calculation:
Rule of thumb -1 kcal per kg per hour (Male)
-0.9 kcal per kg per hour (Female)
Example:
Male 75 kg = 1 kcal X 75 X 24 = 1,800 kcal
Female 65 kg = 0.9 kcal X 65 X 24 = 1,404 kcal
Total Calorie Requirement/day
1.Infants
a.0 –6 mos.
TER = DBW x 120 cals/ day KDBW
b. 7 –12 mos.
TER = DBW x 110 clas/ day KDBW
2. Children
TER = 1000 + (100 x no. Of years)
3. Adolescent
TER = DBW x 45 cals/ KDBW
4. Adults (Krause Method)
TER = DBW x PA value
