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. When trying to lose weight you should eat regular ______ containing meals






2. ______ calories = one kilocalorie






3. 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?






4. Also known as pear shaped - fat is stored in the hips and buttocks - more common in women






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

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






13. Fat found interspresed within the muscle fibers






14. High energy chemical compound used in the body ti transfer energy from nutrients to various life processes






15. Carbon has a valence of:






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






17. Gold standard for body composition - done in a tank of water - very accurate but not convinient

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






20. Feeling hungry is an _____ cue






21. A genetically determined - energy efficient metabolism - an adaptation useful for a storing fat in times of food shortage






22. You can minimize muscle loss during weight loss by _____ your muscles






23. Fiber rich food will ____ eating and increase _____






24. Fat can NEVER be used as a fuel _______






25. A cessation of normal menstuation caused by inadequate estrogen levels resulting from excessively low body fat - causes bone mineral loss and leads to weakened bones






26. Obesity is a chronic disease that depends on both ______ and _______






27. 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?






28. Involuntary actions only - such as breathing - heart rate - chemical reations - cellular processes






29. Meals should be eaten every ____ hours






30. Food availity - boredom - etc. are ______ cues






31. Percent of total energy expenditure done by basal metabolic rate






32. Tissue growth through an increase in cell number






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






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






35. _______ and ________ promote abdominal fat






36. Energy intake < energy output - losing weight






37. Tissue growth through an increase in cell size






38. An increased risk in heart disease - cancer - type 2 diabetes - stroke - hypertension - and arthritis are all associated with






39. Some energy is lost as:






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

43. Of people trying to lose weight - over the course of a year only _____ % are succesful






44. 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






45. Functional unit of energy






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






47. Rate at which basal metabolism occurs






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