Case Study Roger

Based off of Roger’s test results, which were negative or normal in all of the tests the physician ordered, we can suspect that the reason Roger is feeling fatigue near the end of each day is because he is not fueling himself properly. I would recommend that Roger needs to start making more conscious decisions of what he is choosing to fuel his body with by using the tool My Plate.

When evaluating the nutrient density, I would explain to Roger that he needs to look for foods that provide a good amount of vitamins and minerals in proportion to having few calories and that have little to no added sugars or fat to be considered high in nutrient density. I would also emphasize that Roger uses the AMDR to determine the amount of energy sources he needs to establish a health diet. The adequate amount of macronutrients George needs is 45-65% of carbohydrates, 10-35% of proteins, and 20-35% of fats per day. By using these recommended amounts, it will reduce his risk of getting chronic diseases and will increase his overall
