what can be said about Erin\'s protein intake?
Solution
Protein needs are based on healthy body weight. Erin is underweight so her actual weight is not a good parameter for calculating her protein needs. I would tell Erin that due to her low intake of proteins and calories she could be at risk of osteoporesis because protein along with calcium is needed for good bone health. Osteoporesis is common with groups who recieve less protein than they need.
