Assuming Isabella’s diet is inadequate in vitamin B12 what could she do to get enough vitamin B12? Question 14 Transcript

Sophia is not an early riser, and her first class isn’t until 10 a.m.  Every day she grabs breakfast to go from Burger King: a sausage biscuit (2 oz sausage on a medium biscuit) and 12 oz 100% orange juice. Mid-afternoon she stops by the vending machines to get a snack: usually 2 oatmeal cookies and a 12 ounce soda pop. For dinner every day she has a box of macaroni and cheese, made according to the package directions. She adds a hot dog (2 oz) to make it more filling.  Each night she has a snack of one hard-cooked egg and 3-4 slices of wheat bread toast and jam. She figures as long as she feels full, she’s probably getting all the nutrition she needs. After all, she doesn’t crave any particular foods.

How adequate is Matt’s diet in vitamins A & C?   Transcript

Laurie (51 years old, post-menopausal, height 5’5″, weight 138 pounds) works full time as a teacher. Each day she eats a bagel with cream cheese for breakfast, and takes a lunchmeat sandwich and diet soda to work for lunch. When she gets home from work she fixes dinner for the family, which generally consist of meat, enriched breads or pastas, and dessert. Laurie uses many convenience foods such as helper mixes and canned soups, plus condiments to enhance the flavor of the grains. The family drinks bottled water or soda with their meals. They eat little produce, because they believe that America’s soils are depleted, resulting in foods that aren’t very nutritious. They keep cookies, candy, chips, crackers and similar foods on hand for convenient snacking.
