Nutrition Requirements-Group 1

The patient needs 2,753 kcal per day based on his BEE.  We used his 
current weight to calculate his calorie requirement to maintain weight 
and nutrient stores.

The patient needs 94.5 grams per day.  We used 1.5g/kg body weight to 
determine the needs.  We used this amount because of the article given 
to us about "Nutrition and Inflammatory Bowl Disease (Volume 28, number 
2, June 1999). Again, we used the patient's current weight.

The patient needs 91.8 grams of fat per day.  This is based on having 
30% of fat coming from total calories.

The patient needs 378.5 grams of Carbohydrates per day.  This is based 
on having 55% of calories coming from carbohydrates.
