1. Compute for the Desirable Body Weight (indicate your formula)
2. What is your nutritional assessment?
3. Identify the Total Energy Requirement (indicate your formula)--
4. Identify C, P, F distribution (show % allocation)
5. Prepare meal distribution

A. 7 mo. 15 days old baby girl, Birth weight is 7 lbs, current weight is 6 kg, normal length
DBW (gm)= Birth Weight(gm)+(age in months x 500)
=7lb
=7 months
= DBW (gm)= 7lbs (454 gm) + (7 months x 500)
= 3178 + (7 x 500)
= 3178 + 3500
= 6678 or 6.7kg or 7kg; 15.43lbs or 15lbs
The client is underweight the average length and weight for a 7-month-old baby girl is
16lb 12 oz (7.6 kg) and 26.5 in (67.3 cm). For babies who have started solid foods but
still aren't eating enough, weight-promoting options include offering more variety,
choosing higher-calorie, more nutrient-dense foods. Start by ensuring that most meals
and snacks are nutrient-rich. Good sources of protein for weight gain include eggs,
peanut butter and other nut butters, bean soups, milk, yogurt, and cheese.
TER (kcal)= 7.6 x 110 cal/kg DBW
= 836 kcal/day

TER x AMDR
Carbohydrate: 836 x 0.55 = 459.8kcal
459.8kcal / 4kcal/g = 114.95 – 115g
Protein: 836 x 0.10 = 83.6kcal
83.6kcal / 4kcal/g = 20.9 – 20g
Fat: 836 x 0.30 = 250.8kcal
250.8kcal / 9kcal/g = 27.87 – 30g

B. 9-year-old boy, active, student (on f2f), normal ht for age, current weight is 35 kg
DBW (kg) = (9 yrs. old x 2) + 8
= 18 + 8
= 26kg
An average weight and height of a 9 yr. old boy is 132.2cm and 28.1kg since the client’s
current height and weight is 133.3cm and 35kg therefore the DBW for the said client is
26kg means that the client is overweight.
TER = 26kg x 45kcal/kg DBW/day
TER = 1170 kcal
Since the client is an active student on F2F means there are numerous activities such as
physical education, etc.
TER x ADMR
Carbohydrate: 1170 x 0.65 = 760.5
760.5 / 4kcal/g = 190.13 - 190g
Protein: 1170 x 0.15 = 175.5
175.5 / 4kcal/g = 43.98 – 45g
Fat: 1170 x 0.2 = 234
234 / 9kcal/g = 26g – 25g

Female, 15 y/o, sedentary, student in an online mode class (6 hours Monday to

Wednesday the rest of the week is spent on doing assignments and some minor house
chores), medium body built, 5 feet tall
DBW (kg) = (152.4-100)
= 52.4
DBW (kg) = 52.4 – (10% of 52.4)
= 52.4 – 5.24
= 47.16 or 48
The DBW of the client is 48kg since it is not given. Medium built for a 15 yr. old female
who does some minor household chores.
TER = 48kg DBW x 30kcal/kg DBW/day
TER = 1440kcal
TER x ADMR
Carbohydrate: 1440 x 0.6 = 864
864 / 4kcal/g = 216 – 215g
Protein: 1440 x 0.1 = 144
144 / 4kcal/g = 36 – 35g
Fat: 1440 x 0.2 = 288

D. Male, 25 y/o, Grocery Store bagger works 8 hours 6 days a week, medium body built,
5’6” ht, wt 65 kg
DBW (kg) = 5’6
= 167.64 – 100
= 67.64
DBW (kg) = 67.64 – 6.764
= 60.87 or 61
Client is 25 yr. old grocery store bagger who works 8 hrs. 6 days a week with a medium
built whose height is 5’6 and a weight of 65kg. With a normal BMI of 23.1 so it is enough
to give the client a regular diet since he works 6 days a week and 8 hrs. of work activity.

TER = 61kg x 35kcal/kg DBW/day

TER = 2135 kcal

TER x ADMR
Carbohydrate: 2135 x 0.55 = 1174.25
1174.25 / 4kcal/g = 293.56 – 295g
Protein: 2135 x 0.12 = 256.2
256.2 / 4kcal/g = 64.5 – 65g
Fat: 2135 x 0.2 = 427
