What is the recommended daily energy requirement in a 15 kg child
Correct Answer: 1250 KCal
Description: Body weight
Recommended daily energy requirement
< 10 Kg
100 KCal / kg
10 - 20 kg
1000 KCal + 50 Kcal / Kg for each kg above 10 Kg
> 20 Kg
1500 KCal + 20 KCal / Kg for each kg above 20 kg
∴ 15 kg child
= 1000 KCal + 50 X 5
= 1250 KCal.
