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






2. You want weight loss to be ______ loss






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






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






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






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






7. Tissue growth through an increase in cell number






8. Tissue growth through an increase in cell number






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






10. Alcohol ______ fat metabolism






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






12. Energy intake < energy output - losing weight






13. Gold standard for body composition - done in a tank of water - very accurate but not convinient






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






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






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






17. 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






18. 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?






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






20. 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






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






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






23. You want weight loss to be ______ loss






24. Fat that surrounds the organs and is located in the abdominal cavity






25. The first point of unsaturation -and the location of the first double bond are indicated by the:






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






27. Meals should be eaten every ____ hours






28. When trying to lose weight you should eat regular ______ containing meals






29. Process that CREATES more complex chemical compounds for energy storage or synthesis - weight gain






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






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






32. 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






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






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






35. Gold standard for body composition - done in a tank of water - very accurate but not convinient






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






37. Energy intake > energy output - gaining weight






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






39. Process that CREATES more complex chemical compounds for energy storage or synthesis - weight gain






40. Food availity - boredom - etc. are ______ cues






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






42. Eat when hungry - stop when full






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






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






45. Feeling hungry is an _____ cue






46. High fat diets typically have more _____






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






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






49. Two things you can do to increase your basal metabloic rate






50. 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
