Given the table of suggested and actual percentages of macromolecules in the diet, let's analyze the details:
1. Carbohydrates:
- Suggested percentage: [tex]\(45\% - 65\%\)[/tex]
- Actual percentage: [tex]\(70\%\)[/tex]
- Comparison: The patient's actual carbohydrate intake is higher than the suggested range.
2. Lipids:
- Suggested percentage: [tex]\(20\% - 35\%\)[/tex]
- Actual percentage: [tex]\(5\%\)[/tex]
- Comparison: The patient's actual lipid intake is lower than the suggested range.
3. Proteins:
- Suggested percentage: [tex]\(10\% - 35\%\)[/tex]
- Actual percentage: [tex]\(25\%\)[/tex]
- Comparison: The patient's actual protein intake falls within the suggested range.
Given these comparisons:
- The patient's carbohydrate intake is too high, so they should decrease carbohydrates, which are primarily found in foods like rice and pasta.
- The patient's lipid intake is too low, so they should increase lipids, which can be found in foods like oils.
- The patient's protein intake is within the acceptable range, so no adjustments are needed for proteins.
Therefore, the advice the dietician will most likely give is:
The patient should decrease the amount of rice and pasta and increase the amount of oils in his or her diet.
