Question 2

Answer questions 1-10 based on the Elly case study information below. Elly is a 27-year-old, sedentary woman who is 5 feet tall, weighs 150 pounds, and is currently breast feeding her baby (lactating). Several months after her baby was born her health was not improving as she had expected, so she had a health assessment done. The results indicated that she is obese with fasting total blood cholesterol of 237 mg/dl, triglycerides of 331 mg/dL, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol of 203 mg/dL, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol of 34 mg/dL, fasting blood sugar of 226 mg/dL, and resting blood pressure of 141/86 mm Hg. Dietary analysis results showed her to have a total daily Calorie intake of 2,705, Calorie need of 2,241, protein intake of 44 grams, fiber intake of 38 grams, cholesterol intake of 311 mg, and sodium intake of 3,423 mg. Because she is breast feeding, her DRI for protein is 1.1 g/kg. Elly consumed about 80 of her Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) for protein (round her calculated DRI to the nearest whole gram of protein).
