6. Assume that Jenny will submit to ending her starvation diet. Outline a feeding plan for Jenny and include in your plan:1) the number of kilocalories you would start with per day; 2) the amount and rate you would advance the kilocalories; and 3) your final kilocalories per day. While there is no consensus on caloric refeeding guidelines, gains of 1-2 pounds of non-water weight per week are generally acceptable (Maine et al., 2010). Most refeeding complications can be avoided with an initial limit of 1000-1200 calories per day of balanced nutrition, followed by twice weekly increases of 250-300 calories.
