Vitaflo’s corporate compendium Application contains full product and nutritional information on our entire UK range plus a number of helpful dietetic tools including three ketogenic diet calculators, % weight loss tool, energy deficit calculator (including ONS recommendations), and a BMI calculator. Three Ketogenic Diet Calculators: For each of the following versions, you can quickly calculate daily macronutrient intakes in grams for your patient: • Classical Ketogenic Diet – fat, protein (g per kg body weight) and carbohydrate, based on energy requirement and chosen ketogenic ratio. • Medium Chain Triglyceride Ketogenic Diet - MCT, protein, carbohydrate and LCT (as quantity and number of ‘food choices’), based on % of energy requirement. • Modified Ketogenic Diet – fat, based on % of energy requirement. Energy Deficit Calculator: • Calculate a patient’s energy deficit. • Recommend oral nutrition supplements based on their taste or flavour preference. • Mix and match product options to combat flavour fatigue. • Easy access to relevant product information. Weight loss calculator: • % weight loss and BMI tools are also available, in both metric and imperial measurements. To minimise the app’s size we have made all datacards cloud-based, this means to first access a datacard an internet connection will be required. Datacards can be saved locally onto the device meaning no internet connection is required to view these however these will not automatically update and will need to be re-downloaded if any future alterations are made. Please note product information is correct as of April 2021. This app is strictly intended for use by Healthcare professionals only.
