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. High fat diets typically have more _____






2. Eat when hungry - stop when full






3. Rate at which basal metabolism occurs






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






5. Fat can NEVER be used as a fuel _______






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






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






8. Some energy is lost as:






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






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






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






12. Two things that can mask fat loss






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






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






15. You want weight loss to be ______ loss






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






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

19. Fat found interspresed within the muscle fibers






20. Carbon has a valence of:






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






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






23. Some energy is lost as:






24. Alcohol ______ fat metabolism






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

28. Feeling hungry is an _____ cue






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






30. Energy intake < energy output - losing weight






31. 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






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






33. 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






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






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






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






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

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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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