Use the following "Kevin" scenario to answer the next 5 questions.
Kevin had a BMI of 27.3 kg/m2, was fairly sedentary (i.e., very little to no physical activity), and began worrying about increased health risks. He is 24 years of age, initially weighed 185 lbs (84.1 kg), and is 5'9" (175 cm) tall.
He heard that eating 200 kcals every hour from 12 pm to 5 pm will lead to the quickest and greatest amount of fat loss. So, he decided to try it! He didn't change the composition of his diet and continued to eat about 30% fat, 10% protein, and 60% carbohydrates.
A few weeks into this diet, Kevin felt extremely tired and fatigued. He felt anxious, irritable, and hungry most of the time. He initially lost 5 lbs the first week and 4 lbs the second week , but his weight loss stopped after that despite that he continued to follow the diet.
Q1) Does Kevin's initial BMI and lifestyle put him at risk for chronic diseases, like type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease?
a) Yes, because he is sedentary (BMI isn't an indicator of health).
b) No, he has a BMI within the Healthy Weight category and has a typical lifestyle for an American.
c) Yes, he has a BMI within the Overweight category and is sedentary.
d) Yes, he has a BMI within the Obese Class I category and is sedentary.
Q2) Kevin Question #4: Based on what you know from this scenario and from what you've been taught in NTR306, Kevin was eating [ Select ] ["more calories", "too much dietary fat", "fewer calories", "the right amount of calories"] within his new diet approach than what is recommended for 'healthy weight loss.' He should have been eating between [ Select ] ["1700", "1500", "2600 kcals/day", "2200 kcals/day"] and [ Select ] ["2600 kcals/day", "1450 kcals/day", "1950 kcals/day", "2250 kcals/day"] to achieve 1 - 1 1/2 lbs of weight loss/week.
