Using the tube feed calculator

Tube Feed Tracker was created by Roxana Rodriguez-Becker to help families and caregivers work with tube feeding calculations. Use the volume, duration, and rate from your care team’s feeding plan. The calculator handles the arithmetic; it does not determine an appropriate feeding prescription.

How is tube feeding rate calculated?

Rate in mL/hour = total volume in mL ÷ feeding time in hours. Enter any two values in the calculator to find the third. To find volume, multiply rate by time. To find time, divide volume by rate.

What else can I do with Tube Feed Tracker?

The Formulas tab lets you explore enteral formula information. The Log tab helps you record calculations. These tools support organization and discussion with your care team.

Does this tool replace advice from my care team?

No. Follow your clinician or dietitian’s instructions for formula, volume, rate, and schedule. Confirm results with your care team before changing a feeding plan, including when using the weight-based calculator.
