Solution

A computer engineer works sitting at a place and he does not expend a lot of energy to work. In other words, his work is sedentary. In such case, consumption of carbohydrates and fats will cause him to put on weight and become obese. So, a diet rich in carbohydrates and fats will not be helpful, but may harm a sedentary worker like a computer engineer.
