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. People with higher body weights have a ______ energy expenditure






2. Fiber rich food will ____ eating and increase _____






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






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






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






6. Feeling hungry is an _____ cue

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






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






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






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






26. You want weight loss to be ______ loss






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

30. Energy intake > energy output - gaining weight






31. Tissue growth through an increase in cell size






32. Feeling hungry is an _____ cue






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