To determine the appropriate dietary advice for the patient, we need to evaluate whether the actual percentages of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins fall within the suggested percentage ranges.
1. Carbohydrates:
- Suggested: 45-65%
- Actual: 70%
- Since 70% is greater than the upper limit of the suggested range (65%), the patient is consuming an excess of carbohydrates.
2. Lipids:
- Suggested: 20-35%
- Actual: 5%
- Since 5% is less than the lower limit of the suggested range (20%), the patient has a deficit in lipid intake.
3. Proteins:
- Suggested: 10-35%
- Actual: 25%
- Since 25% is within the suggested range (10-35%), the patient's protein intake is appropriate.
Given this analysis:
- The patient has an excess intake of carbohydrates.
- The patient has a deficit intake of lipids.
- The patient's intake of proteins is within the suggested range.
Dietary advice should aim to correct the excess and deficit while maintaining what is already correct. According to this evaluation, the most appropriate advice is:
- The patient should decrease the amount of rice and pasta (which are high in carbohydrates) to address the excess carbohydrate intake.
- The patient should increase the amount of lean meats (proteins) in his or her diet to ensure that sufficient proteins are maintained, despite proteins already being within the suggested range. This helps in balancing the overall diet more effectively while addressing the carbohydrate excess and lipid deficit.
Thus, the correct advice is:
The patient should decrease the amount of rice and pasta and increase the amount of lean meats (proteins) in his or her diet.
