1. What are Nurtrients?: Specific biochemical substances used by the body for growth, development, activity,
reproduction, lactation, health maintenance, and recovery from illness or injury
2. Essential Nurtrients: Not synthesized in the body or are made in insufficient amounts, must be provided
in the body or through supplments
3. Macro nutrients: supply energy and build tissue; i.e., carbohydrates, fats, and proteins
4. Micro nutrients: regulate and control body processes; i.e., vitamins and minerals
5. Nutrients that supply energy are: Carbohydrates (4 cal)
proteins (4 cal)
fats(9 cal)
6. Nutrients that regulate body processes: vitamins, minerals, water
7. What provides calories: Only carbs, proteins, and fats
8. Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE): all of the calories used to perform physical activity,
maintain metabolism, and digest, absorb, and metabolize food
9. total daily energy intake: total calories for each food item eaten
10. What does daily intake and expenditure differences determine: Stable weight,
weight loss, or weight gain.
11. basal metabolic rate (BMR): Energy required for involuntary activities of the body at rest after 12 hours:
energy needed to sustain metabolic activities of cells and tissues
12. Who has a higher BMR?: males due to larger muscle mass
13. Factors that increase BMR: Growth, infections, fever, emotional tension, extreme environmental
temperatures, elevated levels of certain hormones
14. Factor that decrease BMR: Aging, prolonged fasting, and sleep
15. Body Mass Index (BMI): Ratio of weight to height, calculated by dividing a person's body weight in
pounds by the square of his or her height in inches
16. body fat distribution: Location of where body fat is deposited is thought to be an important and reliable
indicator of disease risk
17. What is the waist to hip ratio?: waist circumference / hip circumference to identify central obesity
18. What is a good indicator of abdominal fat: Waist circumference
19. When does risk of disease increase for men and women based on waist
circumference: 40 in or more for men
35 in or more for women
1/3
