kcal/day
Q1: What is the total energy intake? A1 = 2592.05 kcal/day. (4 marks)Q2:
Calculate the macronutrients ratio of the diet. (3 marks)
Carbohydrate: [(1310/2592.05) x 100] = 50.54% carbs kcal
Fat : [(724.77/2592.05) x 100] = 27.94% fat kcal
Protein : [(557.28/2592.05) x 100] = 21.50% protein kcal
Q3: Briefly comment the subject’s diet. (3 marks)
A3 =
The subject's daily calorie consumption of 2592.05 kcal represents a balanced intake of macronutrients. Carbohydrates make
up 50.54% of our diet and provide us with the energy we need to go about our daily lives. Its 27.94% fat content highlights
the significance of choosing wholesome sources for general well-being. Protein contributes to muscle repair and satiety at a
rate of 21.50%. Foods that are rich in nutrients can be found in many different meals and snacks, like well-balanced lunches
and dinners that include protein, carbohydrates, and vegetables, or breakfast with honey and almonds. Drinks that
supplement the diet with nutrients and hydration include water and soy milk. Even though the diet appears to be balanced,
individual requirements and tastes should be considered for the best possible health.

Q4: Based on the Table 3, calculate the total daily energy expenditure of the subject (show the calculation). [Tip: Use Malaysian BMR
equations]. (8 marks)
BMR (Female, age 28) = [(0.0535(28) + 1.994)] x 239
= (4.173 + 1.994) x 239
= 6.167 x 239
BMR = 1473.913 kcal/day
Total daily energy
Sleep: (1473.913 x 0.96) x (7/24) = 412.70 kcal
Lie : (1473.913 x 1.0) x (0.5/24) = 30.71 kcal
Sit : (1473.913 x 1.2) x (7/24) = 515.87 kcal
Stand : (1473.913 x 1.4) x (3/24) = 257.93 kcal
Walk : (1473.913 x 1.5) x (2.67/24) = 245.96 kcal
Groom : (1473.913x 1.4) x (0.5/24) = 42.99 kcal
Personal activity : (1473.913 x 1.5) x (0.67/24) = 61.72 kcal
Prayer : (1473.913 x 1.4) x (0.83/24) = 71.36 kcal
Jog : (1473.913 x 5.5) x (0.17/24) = 57.42 kcal
Workout : (1473.913 x 7.0) x (0.83/24) = 356.81 kcal
Run : (1473.913 x 7.5) x (0.83/24) = 382.29 kcal
Total = 2435.76 kcal/day
Q5: Determine the energy balance of the subject (show the calculation). (2 marks)
EB: (Total energy intake – total daily intake expenditure) = energy balance
EB: 2592.05 – 2435.76 = 156.29
A5 = 156.29
Q6: Determine and comment the physical activity level (PAL) of the subject (show the calculation). (2 marks)
PAL= Energy expenditure/BMR
PAL= 2435.76/1473.913
PAL= 1.65 @ moderate active
A6 = 1.65 @ moderate active _
Q7: Briefly comment the energy requirement of the subject. (2 marks)
A7 =
The energy balance is positive and the subject is in a caloric surplus. To fully comprehend a person's nutritional status, it is
crucial to consider both the quantity and quality of the nutrients they consume in their diet.
Q8: Calculate and classify the subject’s BMI. (2 marks)
BMI= Weight (kg) / (H x H) (m)
BMI= 78kg / (1.60 x 1.60)
BMI= 30.47 kg/m2
Classify: Obesity class 1
A9 = 30.47 kg/m2 ,Obesity class 1
Q9: Based on BMI, briefly comment the body weight status of the subject. (2 marks)
= This female body weight status is obesity class 1 (30.0 – 34.9) because her BMI is above overweight (26.01 – 29.99).
Q10: How do you classify body fat percentage of individuals? (6 marks)
Body Fat Percentage: 34.5%
We can refer to a norm to classify body fat percentage for individual.
Essential: 9 – 11%
Athletes: 12 – 19%
General fitness: 20 – 24%
Acceptable: 25 – 29%
Overweight: 30 – 34%
Obese: >34%
So, we can classify that the subject is obese.
Q11: In relation to Q10, how do you advice the subject about her body composition (4 marks)
With a body fat percentage of 34.5%, the subject is classified as "Obese" according to the given information The customer
should monitor their food intake as they are already classified as obese level 1, increasing their risk of non-communicable
diseases and infectious. The client's body composition can be considered normal if the consumption is enough, with 65%
carbohydrates, 20% protein, and 25% fat. Regular physical activity improves body composition by decreasing abdominal
adipocytes and improving weight management.
Q12: Briefly describe the blood glucose level of the subject. (2 marks)
Blood glucose for the subject is 8.5 mmol/L, so the blood glucose level of the subject is high.
Q13: Briefly describe the blood pressure of the subject. (1.5 marks)
Blood pressure for the subject is 82/123 mmHg, so the blood pressure of the subject is indicating hypotensive
symptoms.
Q14: Briefly describe the blood triglyceride level of the subject. (1.5 marks)
Blood triglyceride level for the subject is 148 mg/dL (desirable).
Q15: Briefly describe the blood LDL, HDL, and cholesterol: HDL ratio of the subject. (3 marks)
The blood LDL for the subject is 130 mg/dL (desirable).
The blood HDL for the subject is 52 mg/dL (desirable).
The cholesterol HDL ratio is 220/52 = 4.23, that is desirable.
Q16: Based on the details given and subject’s profiles, provide the best advice for the subject (4 marks)
Maintaining a BMI within the healthy range of 18.5 to 22.9 kg/m2 is crucial. To address elevated BMI, prioritize regular
physical activity, such as walks in the morning, restrict food intake, and increase fiber intake to manage weight. Eat fewer
high-calorie foods, especially those high in saturated and trans fats, to lower elevated LDL levels. Include foods high in
monounsaturated fats and omega-3, such as avocados and fish, and prioritize losing weight to lower cholesterol. Make a
healthy eating and regular exercise a part of your lifestyle to promote overall wellbeing.
Q17: Discuss your nutrition plan strategy for an individual with malnutrition. (10 marks)
A comprehensive strategy for nutrition is necessary to address malnutrition, with a focus on a well-balanced diet full of vital
nutrients. In order to achieve this, a variety of foods from the major food groups must be included, with a focus on whole
grains, lean proteins, healthy fats, and an assortment of fruits and vegetables. Consuming enough protein, which can be found
in foods like lean meats, legumes, and dairy products, is essential for both general growth and tissue repair. Meal planning
that is regular and portion controlled promotes easier digestion and a steady supply of nutrients. Personalized nutritional
supplements, such as protein shakes and vitamins, may be helpful when dietary intake is inadequate. In order to create and
oversee a personalized nutrition plan that addresses malnutrition holistically and sustainably, cooperation with healthcare
professionals such as physicians and dietitians is crucial.
