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






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






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






4. Rate at which basal metabolism occurs






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






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






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

27. 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






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






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






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






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






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