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 - not gaining or losing weight






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






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






5. 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






6. 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






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






8. Alcohol ______ fat metabolism






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






10. Energy intake < energy output - losing weight






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






12. Eat when hungry - stop when full






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






14. Less lean mass will ______ your basal metabolic rate






15. You want weight loss to be ______ loss






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






25. 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






26. Carbon has a valence of:






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






28. High fat diets typically have more _____






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






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






31. Tissue growth through an increase in cell size






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






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






34. You want weight loss to be ______ loss






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






36. Percent of total energy expenditure done by physical acitivity






37. Meals should be eaten every ____ hours






38. Energy intake > energy output - gaining weight






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






40. Tissue growth through an increase in cell size






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






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






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






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






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






46. Fat can NEVER be used as a fuel _______






47. ______ calories = one kilocalorie






48. Functional unit of energy






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






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