Answer to Question 1

 Energy: Mifflin-St. Jeor using his UBW since he should rapidly regain his lost water weight.
REE = 10 x W(kg) + 6.25 x Ht(cm) - 5 x A(yrs) +5
REE = 10 x 103.6 kg + 6.25 x 175.26 cm - 5 x 53 yrs + 5 = 1872 kcal/day
TEE = 1872 kcal/day x 1.3 = 2433 kcal/day or 2300-2500 kcal/day
For weight loss (1 lb/wk): 2300-2500 kcal/day - 500 kcal = 1800-2000 kcal/day
 Protein: 0.8-1.0 g/kg. IBW: 72.7 kg x 0.8-1.0 = 58-73 g protein/day.
Pt. range for protein would be 15-20 of daily calories.
For weight maintenance, if pt. consumes 2400 kcal per day, 2400 kcal x 0.20 = 480 kcal / 4 kcal/g = 120 g protein. 2400 kcal x 0.15 = 360 kcal / 4 kcal/g = 90 g. 90-120 g/day.
For weight loss, if pt. consumes 1900 kcal per day, 1900 kcal x 0.20 = 380 kcal / 4 kcal/g = 95 g protein. 1900 kcal x 0.15 = 285 kcal / 4 kcal/g = 71 g. 71-95 g protein/day.

Answer to Question 2

Example (answers will vary):
 AM: 1 c frosted shredded wheat with 4-8 oz skim milk, 1 c orange juice, and whole-wheat bagel (can use a tbsp of cream cheese or butter if desired). Drink at least 8 oz of water.
 Lunch: PB&J sandwich (use whole-wheat bread), 15 wheat thins (or 21 small pretzels), 8 oz skim milk.
 After-school snack: Turkey sub (2 or 3 slices of deli turkey, spinach, and 1 tbsp low-fat Ranch on hoagie or preferably whole-wheat bread), 8 oz skim milk. Drink at least 8 oz water.
 Dinner: Beef burrito (2 oz ground beef, 1 oz refried beans, 1 oz salsa, 1 oz cheddar cheese), dress with tomato, lettuce, onion, corn. 20 oz water (or 12 oz juice).
 Snack: Banana, orange, or any other fresh fruit you like.
