Calculating Basal Energy Expenditure

Harris-Benedict Equation – Variables gender, weight (kg), height (cm), age (years) Men:
Actual Weight g
66.47 + (13.75 x weight) + (5 x height) – (6.76 x age) Women:
655.1 + (9.56 x weight) + (1.85 x height) – (4.67 x age)
Calorie requirement = BEE x activity factor x stress factor In obesity, energy expenditure must be calculated on ideal weight.

Role of Arginine in Metabolic Stress
Role of Glutamine in Metabolic Stress
• • • •
Considered “conditionally essential” for critical patients Depleted after trauma Provides fuel for the cells of the immune system and GI tract Helps maintain or restore intestinal mucosal integrity
• • • •
Provides substrates to immune system Increases nitrogen retention after metabolic stress Improves wound healing in animal models Stimulates secretion of growth hormone and is a precursor for polyamines and nitric oxide Not appropriate for septic or inflammatory patients.

“Giving arginine to a septic patient is like putting gasoline on an already burning fire.” Smith RJ, et al. JPEN 1990;14(4 Suppl):94S-99S; Pastores SM, et al. Nutrition 1994;10:385-391 Calder PC.
