Michaels Case Study Discussion
Michael is a 22-year-old college student who lives off-campus. Although he has a kitchen
in his apartment, he has neither the time nor the interest in making his own food or
stocking his own kitchen. All three of his daily meals come from fast-food restaurants. A
typical day's intake is shown below:
Breakfast: Two egg and bacon sandwiches on English muffins; large coffee with creamer
and sugar
Lunch: Two cheeseburgers with catsup; large French fries; soft drink; cookies
Dinner: A foot-long submarine with cold cuts, cheese, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, onion,
and pickles; bag of potato chips; soft drink
Snacks: Chocolate bar; chips and salsa; popcorn
1. What vitamins is Michael probably lacking in his diet? What vitamins is he probably
getting enough of?
a. Michael eats food at the restaurant, most of the time junk foods etc. These foods
probably don't have any kind of vitamin. According to an article by Nutrients,
trans fatty acids are commonly used in fast food restaurants, bakery products,
margarine, etc (Astiasarán et al., 2017). Trans fatty acids are very unhealthy and
can increase the risk of heart disease which is the leading cause of death for
adults. He is lacking Omega 3 fatty acids in his diet, as well as all those vitamins
that are essential for the body such as vitamin A, Vitamin B etc. He is not getting
enough vitamins, except vitamin C. Because vitamin C is found in potatoes,
chillies etc.
2. Are there better choices he could make at fast-food restaurants that would improve his
vitamin intake?
a. He should avoid eating foods at restaurants as his body is unable to get sufficient
amounts of vitamins and nutrients. He can optimise his diet at the restaurant. He
can include green salad, grilled fish or chicken which is a good source of protein
