Activity factor

Immobile, bedridden

Partially mobile, occasional mobilization

Mobile, frequent mobilization; exclusively sedentary with little or no strenuous leisure activity, (e.g., office workers, precision mechanics)

Sedentary work, at times also additional energy expenditure for walking and standing activities, (e.g. laboratory assistants, students, assembly line workers)

Predominantly walking and standing work, (e.g., salesperson, waiter/waitress, mechanic, electrician)

Physically demanding professional work (e.g. construction worker, farmer, forestry worker)

 

For sports or strenuous leisure activities (30 to 60 minutes, 4 to 5 times per week), 0.3 PAL units can be added per day

Disease factor

Assessment according to situation e.g..
  • Select OP (1 - 1.1)
  • malnutrition (1.3)
  • sepsis (1.1 - 1.4)
  • malabsorption (1.2 - 1.5)
  • hyperthyroidism (1.1 - 2)
  • burns (1.4 - 1.5)
  • polytrauma (1.4 - 2)
Other factors:
  • For each degree of fever (+ 0.1 - 0.2)
  • > 75 years of age (- 0.1)
  • ventilation (- 0.1 - - 0.2)

Severe renal failure without dialysis

Information NutriCalc

Calculation of protein and energy requirements using established formulas

With the present nutrition calculator, individual nutrition goals can be easily calculated online. The calculator presented here is based on the ESPEN guidelines for polymorbid, internal medicine patients and was used in the EFFORT study 1, 2.

- Energy requirement: REE x (AF + DF); REE according to Harris Benedict with adjusted body weight.

- Protein requirement: 1.2 - 1.5 g per kg body weight 0.8 g in severe renal failure without dialysis (GFR < 30 ml/min/1.73 m2)
