Answer to Question 1

218/2.2 = 99.1 kg x 0.8 g = 79.3 g of protein. It may be argued by some that more protein should be used. As with the last case study, it depends on the RD's assessment of how much muscle is present in the overweight man.

Answer to Question 2

Harris-Benedict equation for males = 66 + 13.7 x wt + 5 x ht - 6.8 x age
wt = ABW in kg = 218/2.2 = 99.1
ht = 6'1 = 73 x 2.54 = 185.4 cm
= 66 + 13.7 x 99.1 + 5 x 185.4 - 6.8 x 39
= 66 + 1357.7 + 927 - 265
= 2086

I would use an activity factor of 30, considering the size of this patient and lack of activity.
2086 x .30 = 625.8 + 2086 = 2712 kcals

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
