Kasim is a moderate active who has consumed 250gm of an oxen meat, a meat contain 60g of saturated FA and 10gm of unsaturated fatty acids, 10gm of carbohydrates and 30gm of protein. Additionally he drank 2 bottles of coca having 20gm of carbohydrates. Finally he addad 30gm of vitamin C and 20gm of fibers to his eating.

1 what is the total calories kasim obtained?
2 is he consumed appropriate daily requirement?
3 is kasim food selection is inline of balanced diet/AMDR ?
4 what do you think his weight if his daily consumption and current activity continue in this way?

1 answer

To analyze Kasim's dietary intake, we will first calculate the total calories obtained from his food consumption, examine his nutritional adequacy, assess whether his food selection aligns with a balanced diet, and consider the implications for his weight based on daily consumption and activity level.

1. Total Calories Calculated

  1. Calculating the calories from each macronutrient:

    • Fat:

      • Saturated Fat: \(60 , \text{g} \times 9 , \text{calories/g} = 540 , \text{calories}\)
      • Unsaturated Fat: \(10 , \text{g} \times 9 , \text{calories/g} = 90 , \text{calories}\)
      • Total from Fat: \(540 + 90 = 630 , \text{calories}\)
    • Carbohydrates:

      • From Oxen Meat: \(10 , \text{g} \times 4 , \text{calories/g} = 40 , \text{calories}\)
      • From Coca: \(20 , \text{g} \times 4 , \text{calories/g} = 80 , \text{calories}\)
      • Total from Carbohydrates: \(40 + 80 = 120 , \text{calories}\)
    • Protein:

      • \(30 , \text{g} \times 4 , \text{calories/g} = 120 , \text{calories}\)
  2. Total Calories: \[ \text{Total Calories} = \text{Calories from Fat} + \text{Calories from Carbs} + \text{Calories from Protein} \] \[ \text{Total Calories} = 630 + 120 + 120 = 870 , \text{calories} \]

2. Daily Requirements

  • The daily calorie requirements vary based on factors like age, sex, weight, height, and activity level, but a moderate activity level for an adult typically requires about 1800-2400 calories per day.
  • Kasim consumed 870 calories, which is significantly lower than the daily requirement.

3. Food Selection and Balanced Diet

  • Macronutrient Distribution:

    • A balanced diet typically consists of 45-65% carbohydrates, 20-35% fat, and 10-35% protein (Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges - AMDR).
  • Using Kasim's intake:

    • Total grams: \(250 , \text{g (oxen meat)} + 2 , \text{(coca)} + 30 , \text{(vitamin C)} + 20 , \text{(fibers)} = 300 , \text{g}\)
    • The caloric distribution can be calculated based on the macronutrients consumed. If 870 calories are consumed, the breakdown percentage would not adequately cover balanced nutrition or AMDR standards.

Kasim’s selections are lacking in fruits, vegetables, grains (except for coca), and other sources of vitamins and minerals, suggesting an imbalance in essential nutrients.

4. Weight Prediction

  • To estimate weight change, we can consider basic calorie balance principles. If Kasim's average daily calorie requirement is, say, 2200 calories:

    • Deficit: \(2200 - 870 = 1330 , \text{calories/day deficit}\)
    • Over time, a 7,000 calorie deficit is approximately equivalent to 1 kg of weight loss.

    If Kasim maintains a daily deficit of about 1330 calories:

    • In one week (\(10000/1330 \approx 1.5\) kg per week), repeated over several weeks could lead to significant weight loss.

In Conclusion:

  • Kasim will likely lose weight if he continues this consumption pattern and activity level. It is essential for Kasim to improve his dietary choices by including a wider variety of foods to better meet nutritional needs, maintain healthy weight, and ensure long-term health.
