Adam is 152cm tall and weighs 86kg. He is a single father with two teenage sons. The commute to and from his software development job takes about 90 minutes. He likes the coworkers and the work environment and is happy that his workplace provides a cafeteria so he doesn’t have to bring lunch. He believes it is important for the family to have a ‘hot-meal’ every night, but he mostly relies on frozen entrees or take-out to accomplish this. Frequently, the dinner is from the drive-through window of a fast-food restaurant on the way to his sons’ sports events. Adam is an avid football and basketball fan and spends many hours watching televised games. In his spare time, he is restoring an old car with his sons. What is Adam’s nutrition diagnosis? What modifiable factors cause or contribute to this problem? What evidence do you have for the problem?
