You calculated that Nancy needs 2097 kilocalories per day.
 She is receiving 3060 kilocalories per day.
Therefore she is getting too many calories.
You calculated that Nancy needs 100.8-168 grams of protein per day.
She is getting 80 grams of protein.
Therefore she is getting 50-80% of her needs.
If we give her 15% amino acids instead of 10%, and decrease the D70W to D50W
will that solve the problem?
D50W 1000 ml will provide 1700 calories (do the math to make sure I'm
correct)
She will still get 360 calories from fat
15% amino acids 800 ml will provide 480 calories
Total calories = 2540 calories (better, but still
too many calories)
Total protein: 800 ml of 15% amino acids will provide 120
gm protein
Protein intake is within our range.
Critical thinking question:
How will you decrease total calories and maintain adequate protein?
There is no one correct answer to this question.
