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






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






3. Tissue growth through an increase in cell size






4. Lighter people eat _______ or more meals per day






5. Carbon has a valence of:






6. Eat when hungry - stop when full






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






8. Two things that can mask fat loss






9. Men are typically _______ % body fat






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






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






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






13. Measure used to define android obesity - a ratio greater than 1:1:1






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






15. 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?






16. 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






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






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






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






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






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






22. Carbon has a valence of:






23. Energy intake < energy output - losing weight






24. Percent of total energy expenditure done by physical acitivity






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






26. Rate at which basal metabolism occurs






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






28. Percent of total energy expenditure done by physical acitivity






29. People with higher body weights have a ______ energy expenditure






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






31. Some energy is lost as:






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






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






34. Meals should be eaten every ____ hours






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






36. Meals should be eaten every ____ hours






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






38. You want weight loss to be ______ loss






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






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






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






42. Energy intake > energy output - gaining weight






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






44. Feeling hungry is an _____ cue






45. 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






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






47. Less lean mass will ______ your basal metabolic rate






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






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






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