Nutrition Science: Energy Balance And Obesity

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. The fat that is found right under the skin's surface






2. Total body mass is a measure of fat mass+lean mass






3. Fat found interspresed within the muscle fibers






4. Eat when hungry - stop when full






5. Coffin like device that is part of new technology that can calculate body mass by measuring air displacement






6. Voluntary muscle action - walking - running - sitting - talking - etc.

8. Some energy is lost as:






9. Fat can NEVER be used as a fuel _______






10. Eat ____ energy dense diets - aka more food for less calories






11. Functional unit of energy






12. Two things you can do to increase your basal metabloic rate

14. Men are typically _______ % body fat






15. Also known as apple shape - most of the fat is carried abdominally - associated with grater disease risk - usually men






16. People with lower body weight have a ______ energy expenditure






17. Your basal (or resting) metabolic rate is most reliably and directly related to:






18. Process that CREATES more complex chemical compounds for energy storage or synthesis - weight gain






19. Obesity is ____ % genetic - with _____ genes related to obesity.






20. The sum of energy expenditure through REE - physical activity - and the thermal activity of food






21. Energy intake = energy output - not gaining or losing weight






22. An athlete in elite-level training for an endurance sport will probably expend an amount of energy equivalent to what percent of their basal metabolic rate in physical activity?






23. Lighter people eat _______ or more meals per day






24. Energy intake > energy output - gaining weight

32. Eat ____ energy dense diets - aka more food for less calories






33. Small electrodes are placed on the body and the body's resistance to the flow of an electrical charge is measured - well conducting means more lean mass because there is more water






34. Resting energy expenditure makes up ______ of total energy expenditure






35. A very low calorie diet will have less than ______ kcals per day
