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. Food availity - boredom - etc. are ______ cues






2. Functional unit of energy






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






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






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






6. Tissue growth through an increase in cell size






7. Fat found interspresed within the muscle fibers






8. Men are typically _______ % body fat






9. High fat diets typically have more _____






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






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






12. The fat that is found right under the skin's surface






13. Less lean mass will ______ your basal metabolic rate






14. Basal metabloic processes occur in _______






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






16. Meals should be eaten every ____ hours






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






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






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






20. Group that is known for their thrifty metabolism






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






22. _______ and ________ promote abdominal fat






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






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

32. Two things that can mask fat loss






33. Lighter people eat _______ or more meals per day






34. 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






35. Fat can NEVER be used as a fuel _______






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






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. _______ and ________ promote abdominal fat






39. Energy intake < energy output - losing weight






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

42. Alcohol ______ fat metabolism






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






44. Number of calories in one pound






45. 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






46. Tissue growth through an increase in cell size






47. The combination of low bone density - amenorrhea - and eating disorder that is seen in female athletes with very little body fat






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