Answer to Question 1

His diet is full of empty calories and excess fats. He has been laid off from work and possibly had less activity and exercise than he needs to maintain a healthy body weight.

Answer to Question 2

Time the chemotherapy to occur 2 to 3 hours before and after meals.
Take a diet history to plan meals that may be more appetizing.

Serve favorite foods, prepared familiarly and served attractively.

Serve a soft diet if chewing is a problem.

High-protein and high-calorie diets are best.

Cold foods may be more appealing than hot foods.

Milk, cheese, eggs, and fish may be more appealing.

Sugar may need to be added to fruits and juices.

Several small meals may be better tolerated than three large meals.

Nutritionally rich meals should be served earlier in the day because the person is less tired and may have a better appetite at that time.

High-calorie and high-protein liquid drinks should be served between meals so as not to reduce a client's appetite at mealtime.
