Sean is a 45-year-old obese male who lives in Southern California. He works as a mid-level manager at a large data management company, overseeing a team of 22 analysts. He leaves his home at 7 am every day for his 55-minute commute to the office. His job finds him behind a desk and computer for most of the day. He leaves his office around 6 pm to head home. Sean's wife also works 2 part-time jobs and stays busy caring for their 2 young children. She often does not have time to cook meals at home due to the children's after-school activities. Sean and his wife typically eat takeout 5-6 times a week, favoring their local diner most nights. Sean almost always spends his evenings at home watching the sports network on his TV before heading to bed around 10 pm. After being diagnosed with high blood pressure and pre-diabetes, Sean was referred by his doctor to a nutritionist to help him better address his nutritional needs. His nutritionist asked Sean to track his diet for an entire day to see what he normally eats and drinks throughout the day. His daily log is below: Tuesday September 2, 2020 Time Food Consumed Amount Recommendations 06:00 am Coffee Whole Cream White sugar 16 oz 2 tbsp 2 tbsp 07:25 am Sausage, Egg and Cheese Biscuit (Fast Food) Hashbrown (Fast food) Sweet Tea 1 sandwich 1 patty 32 oz. 11:30 am Fish Tacos, deep-fried with cabbage and creme sauce (Food Truck) Spanish Rice Refried Beans 2 tacos ½ cup ½ cup 3:00 pm Plain M&Ms (vending machine) Pepsi 1 pkg 16 oz. 6:30 pm Cheeseburger with ketchup and mustard (Diner near home) French Fries 1 sandwich 1 serving 9:30 pm Chocolate cake (Store bought) Vanilla ice cream 1 slice 2 scoops Based upon what you have learned, analyze Sean's food and drink intake and make recommendations that comply with the recommended Dietary Guidelines. Place your recommendations in the green boxes above. Discussion Questions: Based upon what you know about Sean, what recommendations would you also make regarding his activity levels? What are some ways he can increase his activity level both at work and at home? Sean was recently diagnosed with Pre-diabetes and high blood pressure. What role do you think his dietary intake and activity play in these diseases?
