➤ How do I determine the kcal per milliliter (kcal/mL) of an enteral formula?
Read the product label or manufacturer monograph for kcal per mL. Common densities are 1.0, 1.2, 1.5, and 2.0 kcal/mL. For powdered or modular formulas, divide total kcal in the prepared batch by final volume. Document the formula name and the kcal/mL value you used in the calculation.
