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. Fat found interspresed within the muscle fibers

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






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






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






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






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