Example of calories administered to a patient. The daily mean (DM) of calories is 74% if the patient leaves the ICU at day 5 but 88% if the patient leaves at day 11. The only way to make the mean unaffected by the length of stay is to calculate the mean only once the delivered calories have reached a plateau
