Identify two initial nutrition goals to assist with weight-loss
What will be an ideal response?
Initial weight-loss goals would be to restrict energy intake by 500 kcal a day to lose 1 lb per week. These 500 kcal a day should be subtracted from 2400 kcal, which is the approximate calculated energy requirement for Mitch for weight maintenance. Mitch should aim to lose about 1 lb a week until BMI is less than 30 or until he has lost about 10% of body weight.
• Goal #1: Restrict calories by 500 kcal a day or eat close to 1900 kcal each day.
- Limit foods high in saturated fat and trans fatty acids (education necessary on which foods these are).
• Goal #2: Aim to incorporate at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity each week.
