We just started the PEG this past Saturday, and his dietician has him on Nutrin 2.0 at 500 calories per 8.45 oz box. She has calculated that because he is a tall, lean man (6'2", starting out at 226 lbs at the beginning of treatment, now at 219 lbs), she recommended 5 boxes per day - 2,500 total calories. Hope this helps. Barbara
