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.
You have determined that Haley lives alone and often eats from fast-food restaurants. She states that it seems to be cheaper than cooking for one person. When evaluating Haley's usual dietary intake, which food groups would you find lacking in her diet? In which vitamins, minerals, or nutrients would you expect her to be deficient?
