It contains reference and training material, organized into chapters and algorithms and integrates a “nutritional macro-calculator” that computes caloric-protein needs, adjusted to the degree of stress and anthropometric measurements, using different predictive equations (Harris-Benedict, Pen-State , Ireton-Jones, Swinamer)
