4. Exercise and physical activity likes and dislikes:

Likes: Football. Dislikes: Long distance running.
Boxing. Track and Field.

5. BMR Calculation (please show whole calculation)

15.1 x 83kg + 657 = 1910.30

6. Approximate daily kcal requirement:

(based on current activity levels, by calculating BMR and adding physical activity factor)

1910 x 1.9 = 3629 Kcal/day

My client is a very active male, this is why I chose this specific physical activity factor. He
goes to the gym 6 to 7 times a week and is lifting heavy at 80%of his one rep max. Even
though he only does one 5k run a month he does a lot of walking daily.
Any other comments: Didn’t add the SEE value
Nutritional Case Study - Nutritional profile and analysis
Based on the client’s 7 day food diary (this can be found at the end of this document)
and other information gathered from the client, complete the nutritional profile and
analysis.

Please include a copy of the client’s 7 day (minimum) food diary with
this analysis.
7. Clients nutritional likes and dislikes
Likes: Chicken, oatmeal, cheese, eggs, Dislikes: Onion, Leafy greens, Chutney,
milk, green beans, rice, avocado, Coffee, Lentils, Cinnamon,
mango, turkey, asparagus, potatoes Christmas pie, Pork, Peas,
Cabbage, Lettuce, Gherkin.

8. Analysis of the client’s eating habits

The client keeps a food diary about daily consumptions. Fundamentally, his effectiveness
is illustrated by how he keeps a weekly record of the types of eaten foods and drinks.
Moreover, the gym instructor is keen to take a balanced diet that comprises whole grains,
proteins, vegetables, and healthy fats. Moreover, the client drinks plenty of water on a
regular basis. The aim is to ensure that he is properly hydrated at all times.
The other part of the analysis is that the client focuses on the sufficient intake of calories.
The additional factor of consumption of the appropriate nutrients is being attentive to
quantities of food products. The client avoids overeating as it could contribute to weight gain
as well as other types of health problems. The young athlete demonstrates the behaviour of
eating foods rich in carbohydrates before and after doing exercises. The aim is to replenish
the glycogen levels in the body that, in turn, increases performance.

9. Analysis of the client’s current nutritional intake in relation to quantity (number of

portions eaten daily and portion size) and nutritional quality of their diet compared to healthy
eating guidelines. Provide a rationale for your analysis in terms of health status. Note if there
are any concerns which lead you to believe the client should be referred to their GP.

breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, and dinner.
The client is noted to mainly consume
carbohydrates and proteins to maintain
energy levels. It is this condition that permits
The quality nutrient intake levels imply that
the trainer should eat a minimum of 1.2 to 1.7
grams of proteins on a daily basis. They have
met the standard through dependence on
foods like fish, dairy products, beans, and
eggs.
The level of carbohydrates should be at 5 to 7
grams based on changes in body weight.
Again, the parameter is achieved since the
client is inclined to consume fruits, legumes,
and vegetables.
The quality of consumption is dependent on
the factors of age, weight, levels of activity,
and gender.

Following the analysis in the previous question, identify the good components of the client’s
nutritional intake and any recommendations in accordance to the Eatwell Guide and
Governmental guidelines.

13. Overview of proposed exercise and physical activity plan aligned to the agreed nutritional
changes and goals (applying FITT where appropriate).
Generally, the proposed activity is to ensure that the client considers the creation of positive
schedules that improve the overall performance. One of the most important approaches is to
choose the timelines when the body has the needed energy levels that will improve
performance. The observation of the FITT standards will promote the achievement of the
needed outcomes.

Nutritional Case Study - Short-term goal review

Review the short-term goals (see the goal setting section for review timescale) and evaluate
your client’s understanding of the nutritional advice and how it links to the exercise/physical
activity plan. Evaluate their progress and suggest any changes that might be needed as a
result of this review.

14. Review of client’s understanding and feedback from the client about the plan
It is crucial to note that the provided analysis in the cases study is a general outline of
activities. The client should ensure the construction of a tailor-made approach that suits the
current needs. The ability to work with a trainer will guaranteew the achievement of needed
guidance and feedbacks.

15. Negotiated changes to the nutritional goals and/or exercise/physical activity plan

The main aspect of consideration is an assessment of the correct sources of information in

relation to the proposed activities in the case study.

I can confirm that I have worked with a client and that the information given in this case
