Example : Age = 8 months . Energy = 1100 Kcal Protein = 22.18 gm Fat = 46.4 gm / day CHO = 132 gm / day Requirement from formula 70 % ( similac gain )
70 % kcal from formula 1100 x 70 % = 770 kcal 1 ml .74 kcal ? 770 kcal = 1040 ml Protein 1 ml .028 gm 1040 ml ? = 29.12 gm
CHO 1ml .75 gm 1040 ml ? = 78 gm Fat 1 ml .036 gm 1040 ml ? = 37.44 gm
Requirement from solid food : Kcal = 1100 770 = 330 Kcal Protein = 38.5 29.12 = 9.38 gm CHO = 132 78 = 54 gm Fat = 46.4 37.44 = 8.96 gm
