ANSWERS|VERIFIED|LATEST UPDATE 2025!!
sEnergy balance - (ANSWER)a state when one's energy intake is equivalent to the
amount of energy expended
Energy in equals energy out (calories consumed is burned through basic body
functions + exercise - (ANSWER)energy balance
positive energy balance - (ANSWER)occurs if more calories (energy) are
consumed than expended
examples of periods in life when you need to be in a positive energy balance
state: - (ANSWER)pregnancy, childhood, and adolescence in growth spurts
1 pound in a week is equivalent to : - (ANSWER)500 extra calories a day
Hyperplasia - (ANSWER)an increase in the number of fat cells often occurring
during periods of growth, such as adolescence or pregnancy
Hypertrophy - (ANSWER)an increase in the size of fat cells, most often seen in
periods of low growth and maintenance, such as throughout adulthood
Negative energy balance - (ANSWER)occurs if fewer calories are consumed than
calories expended
,Examples of negative energy balance situations: - (ANSWER)during illness or
trauma, major burn injury, intentional act such as dieting to meet a weight loss
goal
Our sole source of energy intake is from: - (ANSWER)food and beverages
Energy can be expended naturally via _____________ , _____________, and
_________________ - (ANSWER)basal metabolism, the thermic effect of food,
and thermogenesis
Energy can be expended intentionally through _______________ -
(ANSWER)physical activity (aka exercise)
Two major components of energy expenditure are: - (ANSWER)basal metabolic
rate and physical activity
Basal metabolic rate (BMR) - (ANSWER)the number of calories used by the body
while in a fasting state and accounts for approximately 60-70% of energy
expenditure
BMR varies by person based on factors such as: - (ANSWER)gender, lean body
mass, body size, temperature, age, nervous system activities, levels of caffeine
intake, and tobacco use
, BMR males: - (ANSWER)1 kcal/kg/hour
BMR females: - (ANSWER)0.9 kcal/kg/hour
As we age BMR declines by ______________% per decade so we must adjust
eating habits to prevent weight gain. - (ANSWER)1-2 %
Thermic effect of food (TEF) - (ANSWER)the energy used for digestion and
absorption of food and accounts for approximately 10% of the calories expended.
larger meals higher in protein result in a higher ________ - (ANSWER)thermic
effect of food (TEF)
Thermogenesis - (ANSWER)the ability to regulate temperature and activities such
as fidgeting, maintaining body posture, and shivering. ( energy burned through
this process is very small)
Physical activity - (ANSWER)accounts for 15-40% of our energy expenditure
Physical activity factors include: - (ANSWER)body size, fitness level, and actual
activity to determine how many calories are expended
The amount of energy used can be measured both ________________ and
___________________. - (ANSWER)directly and indirectly
