Appropriate Dietary Management for Patient A
carry out, if possible, body composition analysis on a professional analyzer	the test was carried out on the InBody 120 analyzer
checking the content of visceral body fat based on the result from the analyzer	Visceral body fat = 18 *
reading from data from the analyzer the basal metabolic rate (BMR) and determining the total metabolic rate (TMR) based on the physical activity level (PAL) declared by the patient	BMR = 2248 PAL = 1.4 TMR = 3147
determining the appropriate energy deficit and determining the calorific value	caloric content of the diet–2400 kcal **
determination of the percentage composition of macronutrients based on the interview	protein–15% fat–30% carbohydrates–55%

* a high level of visceral adipose tissue additionally indicates the possibility of IR and suggests a slight reduction in the number of carbohydrates. ** a calorific reduction of 750 kcal was applied, which should result in a weight loss of about 0.75 kg/week.
