Scenario:

Mr. Woobin is a physician, he is a cardiologist, during this time of

pandemic he is not able to be with his family, his height is 5'7 ft with actual
weight of 62kls.

Answers and Computation:

1. What is his DBW? Use Tannhauser's method.

Given:
Height = 5’7 ft
Actual Body Weight = 62 kg

Solution:
12𝑖𝑛 2.54𝑐𝑚
5𝑓𝑡 × = 60𝑖𝑛 + 7𝑖𝑛 = 67𝑖𝑛 × = 𝟏𝟕𝟎. 𝟏𝟖𝒄𝒎
𝑓𝑡 𝑖𝑛

DBW = ℎ𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑖𝑛 𝑐𝑚 - 100 - 10%

= 170.18𝑐𝑚 − 100 = 70.18𝑘𝑔 − 10% = 𝟔𝟑. 𝟏𝟔𝒌𝒈

2. What is his Basal Needs?

Solution:

= 1 𝑘𝑐𝑎𝑙 per kg DBW/hour x 63.16 𝑘𝑔 (DBW) x 24hr = 𝟏𝟓𝟏𝟓. 𝟖𝟒 𝒌𝒄𝒂𝒍

 Basal Need
Male = 1 𝑘𝑐𝑎𝑙 𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑘𝑔 𝐷𝐵𝑊/ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑟 Female= 0.9 𝑘𝑐𝑎𝑙 𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑘𝑔 𝐷𝐵𝑊/ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑟

3. What is his TEA?

Solution:

Total Energy Allowance = estimated physical activities (kcal) x DBW (kg)

= 35 𝑘𝑐𝑎𝑙 × 63.16 𝑘𝑔
= 𝟐𝟐𝟏𝟎. 𝟔 𝒌𝒄𝒂𝒍

Activity 𝑘𝑐𝑎𝑙/𝑘𝑔 𝐷𝐵𝑊/𝑑𝑎𝑦

Bed rest but mobile (hospital patients) 27.5

Sedentary (mostly sitting) 30.0
Light (tailor, nurse, physician, jeepney 𝟑𝟓. 𝟎
driver)
Moderate (carpenter, painter, heavy 40.0
housework)
Very active (swimming, lumberman) 45.0

4. What is his diet prescription?

Carbohydrates = 2210.6 kcal x 0.65 = 1436.89 kcal

Proteins = 2210.6 kcal x 0.15 = 331.59 kcal
Fats = 2210.6 kcal x 0.20 = 442.12 kcal

Carbohydrates = 1436.89 kcal ÷ 4 kcal/g = 359.22 g = 360 g

Proteins = 331.59 kcal ÷ 4 kcal/g = 82.90 g = 85 g
Fats = 442.12 kcal ÷ 9 kcal/g = 49.12 g = 50g

Diet Prescription:

Diet Rx: kcal 2200; CHO 360g; PRO 85g; Fats 50g
