Question Answered step-by-step NUTR 30300 Class #12 Case Study – Choosing Weight Loss Program Name… NUTR 30300 Class #12 Case Study – Choosing Weight Loss Program Name ___________________________  Joe has a hectic schedule.  During the day, he works full-time at a warehouse distribution center filling orders. At night, three times a week, he attends class at the local community college in pursuit of computer certification. On weekends, he likes to watch sports on TV, spend time with family and friends, and study.  Joe has little time to think about what he eats – convenience rules.  He stops for coffee and a pastry on his way to work, has a burger or pizza for lunch at a quick service restaurant, and for dinner picks up fried chicken or fish at the drive-through on his way to class.  Unfortunately, over the past few years, Joe’s weight has been climbing. He is 5 feet, 10 inches tall and weighs 200 pounds.  Lately, he has frequently been out of breath during his shift at work.  Watching a game on television a few nights ago, he saw an infomercial for a weight-loss supplement that promises to increase his energy level and allow him to continue to eat large portions of tasty foods but not gain weight.  A famous actor supports the claim that this product allows one to eat at will and not gain weight.  This claim is tempting to Joe because he would like to lose some extra weight.Answer the following questions about Joe. What is Joe’s current BMI, and into which weight category does this fall (underweight, normal weight, overweight, obese)? (3)   2. Joe’s waist circumference is 40 inches.  Considering both his BMI and waist circumference, what does this suggest about his risk for chronic diseases? (3)       3. What would be Joe’s TEE (EER) using the equation provided on slide #14 from the energy balance presentation given his age of 44 years and a low category for physical activity?  Has his average energy intake exceeded this value recently? What would be Joe’s initial target caloric intake if he wanted to lose 1 pound per week.  (4)      4. Referring back to characteristics of unreliable diets, why should Joe be skeptical of the weight-loss product in the infomercial? (2)     5. What are the three aspects to address for successful long-term weight loss as illustrated in the weight loss triad?  Provide a suggestion or two for Joe to increase his physical activity.  Provide a suggestion for Joe’s food intake to improve calorie control.  (6)             Biology Science Nutrition NUTR 303 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
