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. Rate at which basal metabolism occurs






2. High endurance sports like rowing - running - and nordic skiing can use up to ______ kcal and hour - whereas sitting uses about ______ k/cal an hour






3. Type of exercise that involves weight training - pilates - etc - isolated movements and a higher level of resistance - can increase BMR






4. 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






5. Fat found interspresed within the muscle fibers






6. Meals should be eaten every ____ hours






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






8. A height weight relationship used to assess obesity - equal to weight in kilograms over height in meters square - does not discriminate between lean mass and fat tissue






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






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






11. Fiber rich food will ____ eating and increase _____






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






13. High endurance sports like rowing - running - and nordic skiing can use up to ______ kcal and hour - whereas sitting uses about ______ k/cal an hour






14. _______ and ________ promote abdominal fat






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






16. When absolute amounts of fat (number of grams) are considered - fat consumption in the US is:






17. Men are typically _______ % body fat






18. Fat can NEVER be used as a fuel _______






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






20. Energy intake > energy output - gaining weight






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






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






23. Processes that BREAKS DOWN complex compounds for energy release or tissue breakdown - weight loss






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






25. Alternative to measuring amount of fat layer under the skin - use these tools






26. The increase in risk seen in a high risk group over that seen on the lowest risk group






27. Some energy is lost as:






28. Alternative to measuring amount of fat layer under the skin - use these tools






29. Women are typically ________ % body fat






30. 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






31. Feeling hungry is an _____ cue






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






33. Lighter people eat _______ or more meals per day






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






35. The number of cases of a condition in a given population or the proportion of the population suffering from that condition






36. 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






37. Type of exercise that is the continous - repetivitve use of large muscles - has a high energy expenditure rate






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






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






40. Theory that one's body tends to gravitate to a particular weight






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






42. Loss of lean body mass is the ____ term effect of not eating - while a slower metabolism and gluconeogenesis are the _____ term effects






43. Basal metabloic processes occur in _______






44. Tissue growth through an increase in cell size






45. The increase in risk seen in a high risk group over that seen on the lowest risk group






46. 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?






47. Loss of lean body mass is the ____ term effect of not eating - while a slower metabolism and gluconeogenesis are the _____ term effects






48. The day's total energy expenditure through basal metabolism only






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






50. A height weight relationship used to assess obesity - equal to weight in kilograms over height in meters square - does not discriminate between lean mass and fat tissue
