Explanation / Answer

12 ounces meat will equal to almost 6 grams of saturated fat. Cheddar cheese has 21gm of saturated fat per 100gm of cheese and all other items he's having has high amount of saturated fats and also doesn't eat enough fruits and vegetables. This whole diet will surely lead to the obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. I would advise client to shift towards healthy food that contains more unsaturated fatty acids like canola oil, sunflower oil and sesame. He should shift to fish from the meat. Fish like tuna, hearing and salmon has high amount of nutrients. The client should add nuts like flaxseeds, sunflower seeds and walnuts. Avocado is also very good source. He should also add seasoning that will help to lose weight like cinnamon, pepper, mustard seeds and ginger.
