Answer to Question 1

BEE = 66 + 13.7 wt + 5 ht - 6.8 age
= 66 + 13.7 134 + 5 177.8 6.8 48
= 66 + 1835.8 + 889 326.4
= 2464

I would recommend the AHA TLC diet with the fat on the upper end and the carbohydrate on the lower end (for palatability and to keep him on the diet longer). I would use about 1800 kcals for the same reasons mentioned above. FA's BEE is 2464 without a stress factor so coming down to 1800 will be still a lot of food but a considerable reduction. The TLC diet will focus on healthy eating, lipid profile, and antioxidants.

Answer to Question 2

Chronic obesity, elevated BP, waist measurement, blood glucose, cholesterol, TG, and LDL, with low HDL.
