Question

Part I: Case Study Dave is a 46-year-old attorney with a family history of heart disease (his father had a heart attack at the age of 56) whose recent blood tests reveal high blood LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels. His doctor has advised him to eat less fat in his diet. Dave is a self- confessed "foodie" and he enjoys wine and cheese at several social functions each week. He cooks with "real" butter at home and uses half milk and half cream in his coffee. Although fairly inactive, Dave keeps his weight stable at 170 pounds. He is 5 feet 10 inches tall. 1. What factors may be contributing to Dave's elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels? 2. From the history given, identify the main sources of saturated fat in Dave's diet. What are some reasonable changes he could make to lower his intake of saturated fat from these foods? 3. Assume Dave eats about 2000 kcal ories a day and that his doctor has advised him to limit his fat intake to 35 percent of his daily kcalories. Refer to the "How to" feature (p 161) of this chapter to calculate his personal Daily Value for fat. 4. According to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, what is the maximum percentage of kcalories from saturated fat that Dave should consume each day? Remembering that 1 gram of fat contains 9 kcalories, calculate the maximum grams of saturated fat that Dave should eat each day based on his daily intake of 2000 kcalories. 5. Using information from Highlight 5, what additional advice would you offer Dave to improve his heart health? 6. Plan a one-day menu for Dave with higher amounts of healthful fatty acids and lower amounts of harmful fatty acids.
number 4,5,6 please and can you do it in a typed out way.

Answer 1

4, Less than 10% of calories from saturated fatty acids and consuming with polyunsaturated fatty acids associated with low blood cholesterol levels. Multiply 35% by 100 to get a maximum % of calories from saturated fat dave should consume each day. That is 35X 100=350 calories in fats dave have to consume
35% of calorie equal to 0.35grams
0.35 X 2000 divided by 9 =77.7=78grams of saturated fat dave should eat every day.
5, Advice dave to consume natural unsaturated fatty acids like avocado, nuts and olive oils
Advice him to avoid solid fats like half-milk and half cream
Advice to avoid animal fats and add plant-based fats high in monosaturated fatty acids.
Advice him to increase his activity level like running, jogging, brisk walk, swimming, weight lifting, etc.
