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






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






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






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






5. Less lean mass will ______ your basal metabolic rate






6. Energy intake > energy output - gaining weight






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






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






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






10. Energy intake = energy output - not gaining or losing weight






11. High energy chemical compound used in the body ti transfer energy from nutrients to various life processes






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






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






14. Alcohol ______ fat metabolism






15. Women are typically ________ % body fat






16. Eat when hungry - stop when full






17. Lighter people eat _______ or more meals per day






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






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






20. Percent of total energy expenditure done by physical acitivity






21. 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?






22. Two things that can mask fat loss






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






24. People with higher body weights have a ______ energy expenditure






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






26. Group that is known for their thrifty metabolism






27. Fat can NEVER be used as a fuel _______






28. 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






29. Rate at which basal metabolism occurs






30. You want weight loss to be ______ loss






31. 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






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






33. Men are typically _______ % body fat






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






35. 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






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

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






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






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

47. Meals should be eaten every ____ hours






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






49. _______ and ________ promote abdominal fat






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