Gene has been diagnosed with pancreatic
cancer.
He is 50 years old, stands 5' 9" tall, and has a usual
body weight of 225 pounds.
Four months after diagnosis, he weighs 175 lb.
Gene continues to be moderately active and ambulates independently
without the use of a walker or wheelchair. He is undergoing
chemotherapy for his cancer.
HINT: Your textbook and Project 2 Information File are
both good references to complete these questions.
Complete the following:
1 What factors do you think have
contributed to this weight loss?
2 Using the Mifflin St. Joer
equation, calculate Gene’s REE (Resting Energy Expenditure) at his
current weight.
3 Using his REE, calculate Gene’s TDE
(Total Daily Energy) needs allowing for his activity and injury
(stress). Remember that when calculating the Injury Factor
select only one factor and select the factor that has the highest
value.
4 Do you think it is a good idea for
Gene to be losing weight? If not, how many additional
kcalories each day would Gene need to stabilize his weight
losses?
