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

3. Tables originally designed by insurance companies - describe normal height to weight ratio






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






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

7. Eat when hungry - stop when full






8. 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






9. High fat diets typically have more _____

16. Fat that surrounds the organs and is located in the abdominal cavity






17. Feeling hungry is an _____ cue






18. 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






19. Less lean mass will ______ your basal metabolic rate






20. 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






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






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






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






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






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






26. The first point of unsaturation -and the location of the first double bond are indicated by the:






27. Two things that can mask fat loss






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






35. 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






36. Tissue growth through an increase in cell number






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






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






39. Energy cost of eating - digesting - abosorbtion - transporting - storing - and metabolizing nutrients






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






41. 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






42. 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?






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






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






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






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






47. 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?






48. ______ calories = one kilocalorie






49. Energy intake < energy output - losing weight
