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






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






3. Alcohol ______ fat metabolism






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

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






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






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






16. Energy intake > energy output - gaining weight






17. Carbon has a valence of:






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






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






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






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

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






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






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






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