Predictions
Though it seems as if the subject has a decent workout regimen I predict that he will plateau if he has not already. I don’t think my subject is taking in enough proteins due to his activity level and the type of workout that he does. I initially felt like the subject was not getting enough fruits and vegetables but the lunch really made up for what was lacking. The subject did well as far as fat intake but I don’t feel that he is getting enough carbs. With that, I am wondering if he has enough strength to get a really good workout in. The protein intake in the morning, and before the workout is good, but another 15grams of protein would be needed after the workout as well for muscle recovery. The fact that the subject has two small children and a wife that likes snacks, there has bound to be a few cheat sweets in there somewhere. As Friday is always right around the corner to Saturday the diet will definitely change as well as the activity level. The weekends always bring on relaxation and comfort foods. Since the level of workout is probably minimum the subject will remain at his current weight which is not suitable for his height or age.
