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






2. Energy intake > energy output - gaining weight






3. Functional unit of energy






4. Tissue growth through an increase in cell size






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






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






7. Percent of total energy expenditure done by physical acitivity






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






9. Meals should be eaten every ____ hours






10. ______ calories = one kilocalorie






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






12. Carbon has a valence of:






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






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






17. Lighter people eat _______ or more meals per day






18. Feeling hungry is an _____ cue






19. 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






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






21. Fat found interspresed within the muscle fibers






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






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






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






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






26. Lighter people eat _______ or more meals per day






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






28. 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






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






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






31. Group that is known for their thrifty metabolism






32. You want weight loss to be ______ loss






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






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






35. Meals should be eaten every ____ hours






36. Fat can NEVER be used as a fuel _______






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






38. 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?






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






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






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






42. Carbon has a valence of:






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






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

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






47. Women are typically ________ % body fat






48. Tissue growth through an increase in cell number






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






50. When absolute amounts of fat (number of grams) are considered - fat consumption in the US is:
