List substances included in measurement of intake and output.

Question 2

Haley, a 34-year-old single female, weighs 210 pounds, is 58 tall and has a medium frame. The physician asks you to assist Haley in planning a diet that will allow her to lose 1 to 2 pounds per week. As you discuss Haley's diet with her, you determine that her typical diet consists of these foods: two pieces of bacon, two eggs, one slice of cheese on one biscuit with 8 oz of 2 milk for breakfast; 4 oz hamburger on a bun, one cup of fries, 32 oz of cola for lunch; two slices of a 12-inch loaded pizza, two cups of salad with 2 tbsp of ranch dressing, 32 oz sweet tea for dinner; and snacks of 6 oz lite yogurt, 1 oz of chips, 1 oz of pretzels, and diet cola throughout the day.

Haley requests a list of snacks she can use during her exercise period or when on break. Devise a list of high-energy, low-calorie, nutritious drinks or snacks. Include the caloric content of each.
