Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The National Institutes of Health recommends low-calorie diets of 1000 to 1200 cal/day for overweight women and 1200 to 1600 cal/day for overweight men.

Answer to Question 2

B
Serum albumin level is a good index of visceral protein status. It is not a good indicator of im-mune function, although values do tend to decrease during infection. Somatic protein status is assessed using measurements that estimate muscle size. Serum albumin level does decrease if protein intake is inadequate over long periods, but it does not demonstrate day to day adequacy of protein intake. Also, protein intake may be reasonable, but a patient may have low serum al-bumin if they have unusually high protein needs, for example due to burns or infection.
