Question

1. How does Rashamel’s current sodium intake compare with the AI?

 

Answer:

2.  Which five foods provide the most sodium?   Suggest a substitution for each that would reduce his sodium intake to 2300 mg or less.

Answer:

Rashamel does not consume enough fruits, vegetables, or low-fat dairy products to meet the recommendations of the DASH Eating Plan for a 2600-kcal diet (see Figure 10.18b: page 403 textbook).

3. Suggest foods that Rashamel could add to his diet to meet these recommendations.

Answer:  

Adding foods to meet the DASH recommendations will increase Rashamel’s calorie intake.

4. What could Rashamel eliminate from his diet to reduce his calorie intake to about 2600 kcal while still meeting the DASH recommendations.
