Subject should also increase fat intake to better balance his diet.

Subject's fiber consumption was so far in excess of DRV that negative digestive consequences cannot be ruled out.

Salt intake was more than the DVR, but could be easily corrected with some minor dietary changes.

The Food Standards Agency has developed the Eat Well Plate as an easy to follow nutritional guideline.

The Eat Well Plate is a visual display and quick reference for consumers to better balance their diets in compliance with the DVR's. Analysis revealed a shortfall in fruits and vegetables as well as bread, rice and pasta - the two largest sections of the plate. Subjects fat consumptions were well below the DVR's, but per the Eat Well Plate are the smallest category recommended.

Recommendations for Subject's improved nutritional balance would include increased caloric intake, weighted heavily in the fruits and vegetables, breads, rice and pasta categories. Targeted changes in these areas would correct the deficiencies identified in calcium and potassium consumption and likely the cholesterol and fat categories as well, due to the preparation methods frequently used in these categories.

Subject should also consider increasing his fluid intake to at least direct proportion of his alcohol intake.

The British Nutrition Foundation recommends no more than 4 units of alcohol per day for males.

Subject's alcohol consumption average was over double the recommended amount as each pint of beer counts as two units.

Subject did not report any health history problems or issues which could result in compliance issues with recommendations at the time of the study.

However, at the time of this study, the World Health Organization was conducting a study regarding the Waist to Hip ratio as more specifically applied to Asian cultures.

The Waist to Hip Ratio has gained prominence as a strong indicator of cardiovascular disease. Individuals who carry their weight in their hips are less likely to have specific serious health conditions, including cardiovascular disease.

Finally, Subject may resist changing his diet initially.
