Tania Williams
32 years old, Female, 5'6", 140 lbs
Weight Loss/Gain: Maintain
Activity Level: Active
Tania is a 32-year-old female who just started a position as a senior manager at an insurance company. While her work schedule is busy, she makes time to work out at her local gym 3 times a week, doing aerobics and yoga for an hour. She has made friends at the gym who have told her they follow a vegan dietary pattern. Curious about this lifestyle and the health benefits, she began following a strict vegan dietary pattern 15 months ago. Lately, she started to notice her skin is pale, she gets cold frequently, and she tires easily.
For this assignment, you will use the NutritionCalc Plus (NCP) dietary analysis program to create a profile for Tania, enter some dietary data, and generate several analysis reports. Then, you will answer 10 multiple choice questions based on these reports.
STEP 1: Log in to NutritionCalc Plus and click on the Profiles tab. Using the Choose Profile drop-down menu, select New Profile. Create a new profile on NCP for Tania Williams using the information provided above. Set her birthdate to 32 years before today’s date. Use the format MM/DD/YYYY.
