The balance in the body between amounts of energy consumed and expended
|
Energy Balance |
|
Energy Intake of Carbohydrates |
4 kcal/gram |
|
Energy Intake of Protein |
4 kcal/gram |
|
Energy Intake of Fat |
9 kcal/gram |
|
Energy intake of Alcohol |
7 kcal/gram |
|
Basal Metabolic Rate |
A clinical measure of resting energy expenditure performed upon awakening, 10 to 12 hours after eating, and 12 to 18 hours after significant physical activity. Often used interchangeably with RMR.
|
|
A balance of energy intake and output that results in little or no change in weight over time
|
Energy Equilibrium |
|
The use of calories or energy for basic body functions, physical activity, and processing of consumed foods.
|
Energy Output |
|
The minimum energy needed to maintain basic physiological functions
|
Resting Energy Expenditure (RMR extrapolated to 24 hours) |
|
The total of the resting energy expenditure (REE), energy used in physical activity, and energy used in processing food (TEF); usually expressed in kilocalories per day.
|
Total Energy Expenditure |
|
The waist measurement; as a marker of abdominal fat content, it can be used to indicate health risks.
|
Waist Circumfrence |
|
A hormone produced by adipose cells that signals the amount of body fat content and influences food intake.
|
Leptin |
|
Excess storage of fat located primarily in the buttocks and thighs. Also called gynecoid obesity
|
Gynoid Obesity |
|
BMI Equation |
Body Weight (In KG) / Square of height (In meters) expressed in kg/m^2 |
|
Excess storage of fat located primarily in the abdominal area.body fat distribution — The pattern of fat distribution on the body.
|
Android Obesity |
|
The portion of the body exclusive of stored fat, including muscle, bone, connective tissue, organs, and water.
|
Lean Body Mass |
|
Feeling of satisfaction and fullness that terminates a meal
|
Satiation |
|
The effect of a food or meal that delays subsequent intake. Feeling of satisfaction and fullness following eating that quells the desire for food.
|
Satiety |
|
Produced by stomach and hypothalamus, Increases during fasting and decreases by the presence of nutrients in the stomach
|
Grelin |
|
The output of energy associated with fidgeting, maintenance of posture, and other minimal physical exertions is
|
Non Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT) |
|
occurs when energy intake is lower than energy expenditure, resulting in a depletion of body energy stores and weight loss.
|
Negative Energy Balance |
|
is a clinical measure of resting energy expenditure performed three to four hours after eating or performing significant physical activity.
|
Resting Metabolic Rate |
|
the energy used to digest, absorb, and metabolize energy-yielding foodstuffs. It constitutes about 10 percent of total energy expenditure but is influenced by various factors.
|
Thermic Effect of Food |
|
he thermic effect of 900-Kcalorie meal is about how many Kcalories
|
90 kcal (10%) |
|
What does the Harris Benedict Equation Measure? |
Determines your total daily energy expenditure (calories). The BMR formula uses the variables of height, weight, age and gender to calculate the Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR).
|
|
A person is underweight if they have a BMI of less than.... |
18.5 kg/m^2 |
|
Obesity due to an above-average number of fat cells is called
|
Hypercellular Obesity |
|
A person is overweight if they have a BMI of over... |
25 kg/m^2 but less than 30 kg/m^2 |
|
Obesity is when a person has a BMI of over... |
30 kg/m^2 |
|
Obesity due to an increase in both the size and number of fat cells is called
|
Hyperplasia |
|
Weight Cycling |
Repeated periods of weight gain and loss |
|
Obesity due to an increase in the size of fat cells is
|
Hypertrophic Obesity |
|
What is the BMI range for normal weight? |
Between 18 and 25 kg/m^2 |
|
ets supplying 400 to 800 kilocalories per day that include adequate high-quality protein, little or no fat, and little carbohydrate are called
|
Very Low Calorie Diets |
|
The adoption of healthful and sustainable eating and exercise behaviors that reduce disease risk and improve well-being is
|
Weight Management |
|
occurs when energy intake exceeds energy expenditure, resulting in an increase in body energy stores and weight gain.
|
Positive Energy Balance |
|
is the chemical or anatomical composition of the body. It is commonly defined as the proportions of fat, muscle, bone, and other tissues in the body |
Body Composition |
|
5 risks associated with being over weight*** |
Heart Disease/Stroke Diabetes Cancer Sleep Apnea Osteoarthritis |
|
What forms does your body store excess Kcalories when you are in a state of positive energy balance? Under what circumstances is a positive energy balance not only healthy, but also necessary?*****
|
When you take in more energy than you need, you have a positive energy balance and you store the surplus as fat and as glycogen. Pregnancy, growing children, and anyone who is in need of weight gain require a positive energy balance.
|
|
How does your body obtain fuel for its energy needs if you are in negative energy balance?***
|
When you take in less energy than you need, you have a negative energy balance. To obtain fuel, your body uses stores of glycogen and fat (and breaks down body protein, too, if the deficit is extreme).

Measurement of body density |
Densitometry |
