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






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






3. _______ and ________ promote abdominal fat






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






5. ______ calories = one kilocalorie

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






22. 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

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






26. _______ and ________ promote abdominal fat






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






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

30. Alcohol ______ fat metabolism






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






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






33. Percent of total energy expenditure done by physical acitivity






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






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