I wouldn&#39;t put units on them in your exam though. </p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/108509?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 20 Feb 2011 11:55:15 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:ee74c9a7-f685-4739-b940-9a05acfe7751Phrin Vernon RVN<p>Hi</p> <p>As far as I am aware there are no units for those values. As long as you include the kgs, and kcals/24hrs you&#39;ll be fine <img src="http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/emoticons/new/Thumbs_up.png" alt="Thumbs up" /></p> <p>Good luck with your pracs!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
