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.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released reports detailing the deaths of infants (younger than 1 year of age) who died after being given cold and cough medications.
