3. The typical, well-nourished 4-year-old needs approximately1.2 g protein/kg body weight per day. If Sue, who weighs 34 pounds(15.5 kg) were severely malnourished and received this one-daymenu, how does the protein content of the menu compare to thetypical, well-nourished child’s protein needs? (Hint: Total gramsof protein /weight in kg of body weight = grams of Protein perday.)
|
a. The menu provides 2 times more protein per kg bodyweight. |
|
|
|
b. The menu provides 3.5 times more protein per kg bodyweight. |
|
|
|
