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. People with higher body weights have a ______ energy expenditure






2. Energy intake < energy output - losing weight






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. 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. Percent of total energy expenditure done by physical acitivity






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






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






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






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






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






11. 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






12. Fat can NEVER be used as a fuel _______






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






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






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






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






17. Feeling hungry is an _____ cue






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






19. Women are typically ________ % body fat






20. The thermic effect of food account for about ____ % of food intake

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






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






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






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






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






27. Energy intake > energy output - gaining weight






28. Some energy is lost as:






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






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

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






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






37. 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






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






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