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






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






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






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






5. Eat when hungry - stop when full






6. Alcohol ______ fat metabolism






7. 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






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






9. Less lean mass will ______ your basal metabolic rate






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

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






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






23. Two things that can mask fat loss






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

31. Fat found interspresed within the muscle fibers






32. Energy intake > energy output - gaining weight






33. Two things that can mask fat loss






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