Human milk fortifier vs. high calorie formula?
My son was three months premature, and I was breast feeding him. While he was in the NICU they were fortifying the breast milk with human milk fortifier whenever I wasn't there to feed him myself from the breast. When he was discharged I was told that he still need those extra calories, but the human milk fortifier was way too expensive (according to the doctor) so they wanted me instead to use a high calorie formula- neosure, three times a day. I mix one teaspoon in with every two ounces of breast milk, and the rest of the time he is just put to breast. My son just turned 9 months today, 6 months adjusted, and he is gaining weight beautifully. My only complaint is that he is a little fussy and I think he has colic, but I am not sure if this is from the formula or from something else. Just a note to casey- the perinatologist that took care of my son said that there have been studies that have shown that supplementation with formula in breast fed infants has been shown to improve brain growth, so it is best for premies to be both breast and bottle fed.
How to make 22 calorie formula?
Preemie baby has been on Formula for awhile now. I usally make her formula from powder and make it 22 colories an oz. I know how to do it with the powder but my husband got the kind thats ready to feed you dont have to add water. So how do I make the ready to feed formula 22 cal/oz? Do I add 1/4 teaspoon per every 50ml? Thanks a bunch. Oh also her doctor has said she needs 22 cal/oz due to her prematurity and low weight. She is on Similac Alimentum due to her food allergie and protein and soy sensitivity.
What is the formula of daily calorie requirement?
If you use a formula keep in mind that most are stated without any indication of the margin of error. It will be a wide error margin. The formulas calculate an average value based on fitting an equation to an empirical data set. There is an error - hopefully stated, but usually not.Using average values, or formulas for average values, without any idea of the distribution from whence they came, and applying that average to individuals, is a common flaw of reasoning. The averages are correct for a population. The population has a distribution. The average is not correct, by definition, for an individual. If the distribution is wide, then not many people are “average”.For the purposes of planning an individual weight loss diet there is a fundamental mathematical problem caused by the fact that the caloric deficit you are trying to create is on the same order of magnitude as the error in the BMR estimates. That makes use of formulas questionable as a planning tool.All the information you really need to know is provided to you by your body. If you simply go with well known BMR average values as a starting point (2000 for women, 2500 for men), and stick to caloric restriction within accepted safe limits (1200 min for women, 1500 min for men), and then simply monitor your progress and adjust, you will have performed the most accurate calculation possible - your body did it for you in the real world.If you are up on your math and statistics you can read further, including mention of error and variance, on the wikipedia page: Basal metabolic rate - Wikipedia
P90X Calorie Formula?
To burn fat, consume fewer calories a day than you burn...but realize P90X is more for muscle toning/building and not so much for weight loss...I've been through it 3 times in the past 2 yrs and all I lost was 10 lbs (and that was the first go through) but I did gain muscle tone and strength each time through the program... If your primary goal is fat loss, I suggest "Insanity" as it's mostly cardio, with some resistance training (that just uses your own body)...no additional equipment needed...or you could go through P90X, then Insanity, and then go back and forth or mix them up for your maintenance... I'm going through Insanity for the 2nd time now...it's a very intense cardio program!!!
Formula Question- I switched off of Enfamil Enfacare high calorie to normal calorie?
My baby was premature so the hospital had him on enfamil enfacare 22cal so it had higher calories so he could gain weight. My last well baby check up a couple days ago my doc said he can go off the high cal formula and go to regular formula. Baby is 7 weeks old. So I asked him if there was a difference between non brand and brand he said no as long as it says compared to.... So I got the babies r us premium iron fortified formula which it says compared to enfamil lipil. So, my question is how long before my baby gets used to the switch? Last night was the first night using it and he seems very uncomfortable and making lots of noise where as with the high cal stuff he was fine? Also he was going aout 4 hours at night between feedings and last night was about every 2 hours and fussing in between. Do you think the high calorie is more filling or something or is this normal with a formula switch? Does it take about a week to adjust to the different kind. Taste wise it doesnt bother him??

What is the most accurate formula to count daily calorie requirements? Do these formulae (Harris Benedict, Kate McArdle) accurate for Indians?
Hi,Harris Benedict is almost accurate and can be used for Indiana too. Though in India, the calorie requirement per day is calculated mainly by a step by step approach.1. Calculation of BMI & IBW2. Calculation of calorie for IBW as per activity3. Division of calorie into macronutrientsCalculation the calorie per day by aforesaid approach will give approximately same calorie count as we get from Harris Benedict equation.
Is there any statistic formula to compare between original needed calorie and intake calorie?
You asked: Is there any statistic formula to compare between original needed calorie and intake calorie?The question as phrased is a little confusing, so I’m going to interpret it as: How are calories consumed (intake) compared to calories needed?There are online calculators such as this one: Calorie Calculator. Input your information for your current status, weight, gender, age, activity, etc. This calculator will inform you of your minimum needed calories to maintain your weight, as well as how much to consume if you want to gain or lose. Decide which calorie intake will be your target, depending on your needs.Then you would track your intake via other apps, such as Lose It! or My Fitness Pal. They will help you learn how much food is needed for the your caloric goal. Be exceedingly accurate in recording your food intake: portion size, and the occasional snack - they all add up. These apps also include the ability to track your calorie output via activity.Another option is to use the Calorie Calculator by inputting your desired weight. Then start eating for that calorie intake as a goal, and you will gradually lose (or gain) toward your target. You won’t regain once your goal is reached because you will already be eating right for your preferred weight.
How are inactive calories calculated in Google Fit?
First we should know what is 'Inactive Calorie' consumption.So let's try to get that.There is something called Basal Metabolic Rate. Basal Metabolic Rate is the minimum calorific requirement needed to sustain life in a resting individual, or the amount of energy expended while at rest in a neutrally temperate environment, in the post-absorptive state (meaning that the digestive system is inactive, which requires about twelve hours of fasting in humans).Now lets jump to inactive calorie. Calories burned at Basal Metabolic Rate (when body is at rest. Even digestive system is at rest) are inactive calorie.Now lets move to the Answer of our question. In Google Fit we need to provide our height and weight which helps 'Fit' to calculate our inactive calories.Approximate formula for the calculation is :For men: BMR = 10 x weight (kg) + 6.25 x height (cm) – 5 x age (years) + 5For women: BMR = 10 x weight (kg) + 6.25 x height (cm) – 5 x age (years) – 161Above mentioned equations are known as Mifflin St. Jeor Equation.Exact value of inactive calories cannot be found because it is dependent on various factors which vary from individual to individual. Body temperature is also a factor.So to keep the equation simple various approximation have been done.Please mention your observations and suggestion in comments.Sources : Basal Metabolic Rate Calculator: Calories Burned when Resting How to Calculate Your BMR (And Why It Matters)
