Provide a detailed analysis of how your client’s dietary intake compares to the Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) standards. Include specific information regarding the various components of the analysis, such as energy intake, macronutrient distribution, micronutrient adequacy, and any notable deviations or deficiencies.

a. Energy intake and needs:

To determine the client’s estimated energy needs, the Harris-Benedict equation was used. Based on the calculations, the client has a basal metabolic rate (BMR) of 1623.4 calories per day. Therefore, her recommended daily energy intake is 2286 calories.

b. Macronutrient intake distribution range:

The recommended macronutrient intake distribution range is expressed as a percentage of total calories. Further analysis is needed to assess the client’s specific macronutrient intake and compare it to the recommended distribution range. ATP 256 Client Consultation Activity

Additionally, her recommended daily macronutrient intake includes 139g of proteins, 305g of carbs, and 65g of fat. However, it has been identified that the client is not meeting the recommended daily intake of micronutrients according to the Gatorade Sport Science Institute. Further assessment is required to determine the specific micronutrients that are not being adequately consumed.

Assessing your client’s readiness to make a healthy lifestyle behavior change is crucial. To determine their readiness, a valid and reliable tool can be utilized. For example, the “Readiness to Change” questionnaire can be administered to measure their motivation and willingness to adopt healthier habits. This assessment tool provides insights into the client’s current mindset and their level of commitment to making lifestyle changes. By using such a tool, you can accurately evaluate your client’s readiness for behavior change and tailor your interventions accordingly.

Based on the client’s current readiness level, she is in the preparation phase for making a healthy lifestyle change. This phase indicates that she has the intention to modify her habits within the next month. The client’s motivation to make this change stems from her already limited consumption of unhealthy foods and her desire to achieve a slimmer and fitter physique for the upcoming water polo season. These factors contribute to her readiness to embrace a healthier lifestyle. ATP 256 Client Consultation Activity
