While the most common recommended protein intake in the critically ill is 1.5 g/kg per day [6,7], up to 1.5–2.5 g protein/kg per day may be most advantageous [7,8]. ICU patients commonly receive less than even the lowest guideline recommendation reg

High protein intakes did not significantly improve major clinical outcomes, such as length of intensive care unit (ICU) or hospital stay, ...

International guidelines recommend a target protein intake of ≥1.2 g/kg/day to all critically ill patients for optimal outcomes.

Higher protein intake reaching. 1.5e2 g/kg/d may be considered in this population, since there are large protein losses (20e30 g/L of abdominal fluid) [127].
