For ease, the Formula for Calories requirement / Day  in a child is the same as Holliday Segar method used to calculate total fluid requirement per day .

i-e

(100ml/kg) or 1000ml fluid or 1000KCal for 1^st 10 Kgs

(50ml/kg) or 500ml fluid or 500Kcal  for next 10 Kgs (10-20Kg)

(20ml/kg) or 20 Kcal/Kg for every Kg beyond 20 Kgs.

Example:

Weight of Child : 10 Kg

Fluid Requirement per day :  1000ml

Calorie Requirement per day : 1000Kcal

Weight of Child : 20 Kg

Fluid Requirement per day :  (1000 + 500)     1500ml

Calorie Requirement per day : (1000 + 500 )  1500Kcal

Weight of Child : 22 Kg

Fluid Requirement per day :  (1000+500+40)   1540 ml

Calorie Requirement per day : (1000+500+40)  1540 Kcal

Weight of Child : 8 Kg

Fluid Requirement per day :  800ml

Calorie Requirement per day : 800Kcal

Weight of Child : 17 Kg

Fluid Requirement per day :  (1000 + 350 )    1350ml

Calorie Requirement per day : (1000 + 350 )   1350 Kcal
