Case study 1: Child
The first case study is a 6-year-old male named Jack who is a Christian. Jack is 120 cm tall and weighs 25 kg, which places him in the 95th percentile for his age group. His BMI is calculated as 17.4, which is above the healthy range for his age. Jack's current diet consists mainly of processed snacks, sugary drinks, and fast food, which might be the reason for his weight gain.
Jack also has a food allergy to peanuts, which means he needs to avoid all peanut-containing foods. This allergy causes a severe allergic reaction if he consumes even a small number of peanuts. As a result, Jack's diet is limited, and his family needs to ensure that he consumes enough protein and healthy fats from other food sources.
Case study 2: Adult
The second case study is a 40-year-old female named Emily. Emily is a Muslim and Emily is 165 cm tall and weighs 70 kg, which places her in the healthy weight range for her age. Her BMI is calculated as 25.7, which is slightly above the healthy range. Emily's current diet consists of mainly whole foods, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
Emily has a medical condition called celiac disease, which means she cannot consume gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. This condition causes damage to the lining of her small intestine, which can lead to nutrient deficiencies. As a result, Emily needs to consume a gluten-free diet, which requires careful planning to ensure she meets her nutritional needs.
