Mr. Wazowski luckily has an amazing inspiring dietitian who was able to
provide a delicious two-day menu that fit his dietary and financial needs. With the
help of the supertracker nutrient analyzer provided by the USDA, the micro and
macronutrient content was provided for each day’s intake. Mr. Wazowski was
provided a diet that consisted of consuming 2000 kcal and 16 starch items spread
out throughout the day as a target goal. The day one menu consisted of 1860 kcal
and day two contained 2207 which came out to an average of 2033 kcal average for
the two days. Overall, both meal plans met the majority of the DRI, MyPlate, and diet
prescription guidelines.
In regards to protein, Mr. Wazowksi consumed 100 grams on day one and
133 grams on day 2, which comes out to 21% and 24% respectively of total kcals
from protein for each day. These results both fall within the DRI range of 10-35%,
but the protein intake on day 2 was a little higher then the diet prescription
recommendation of 100 grams.
The carbohydrate evaluation for Day 1 shows that is equates to 238 grams
and 51% of total kcals from carbohydrates. This amount lies within the range of the
DRI (45-65%), but it is a little below the meal exchange plan of 250 grams. Day 2
equates to 298 grams and 54% of total kcals from carbohydrates. This amount lies
within the range of the DRI (45-65%), however it is above the meal exchange plan of
250 grams by almond fifty grams.
The fat content for day 1 came out to 29% (60 grams) and for day 2 it was
26% (63 grams) of total kcals. Both of the two-day menus fat content fell within the
range of the DRI (20-35%), but were slightly under the diet prescription guidelines
of being 30% (67 grams) that were recommended. The good news is that both days
menu contained less then 10% of calories from saturated fat that is recommended,
which is extremely important considering the patients cardiovascular disease. Also,
day 1 consisted of 267mg of cholesterol and day 2 contained only 146mg with the
DRI recommendations being less than 300mg in a day. Unfortunately, the DRI for
Linoleic Acid (8 and 14 grams) and Linolenic Acid (.8 and 1.2 grams) were not met
on either day with the recommended levels being 17 grams and 1.6 grams
respectively.
In regards to micronutrients, almost every vitamin and mineral met the DRI
for each day with the exception of Potassium (4201mg), Vitamin A (853ug RAE), and
Vitamin E (14mg AT) on day 1, and just Vitamin E (14 mg AT) on day 2. I was very
please to see that in regards to sodium each day was way under the recommended
levels of less than 2300mg with day 1 resulting in 2032mg and day 2 came in at
1688mg!
Overall, I am very please with the nutrient report of these two-days of meals
and snacks. After analyzing the nutrient content, the food items provided a well-
rounded meal that met the needs for a patient with type II diabetes and
cardiovascular disease. If Mr. Wazowski is able to still with this type of meal plan he
will hopefully be able to start transforming his health for the better.
