By measuring the amount of heat generated by burning food, this method measures the change in water temperature caused by heat that dissipates from the body of a person in the chamber

Combination of sleep disorder, disordered eating, and a mood disorder. This person consumes the majority of daily kilocalories after the evening meal and wakes up during the night to eat, eating very little t/o the day.

binge eating disorder

Eating disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of consuming large amounts of food during which the person feels a lack of control over eating.

T or F: Basal metabolism is the amount of energy expended by the body during exercise.

False

T or F: Being underweight is always healthier than being overweight.

False

T or F: Body composition is the same thing as body weight.

Which type of food takes the least energy to digest?

Fats

thermic effect of exercise (TEE)

Increase in muscle contraction that occurs during physical activity, which produces heat and contributes to the total daily energy expenditure

factors that affect your BMR

LBM, age, gender, body size, genes, ethnicity, emotional and physical stress, thyroid hormone levels, nutritional state, and environmental temperature, as well as caffeine and nicotine intake

Which type of food takes the most energy to digest?

Protein

Estimated Energy Requirement (EER)

The average kilocalorie intake that is estimated to maintain energy balance based on a person's gender, age, height, body weight, and level of physical activity.

The total kilocalories needed to meet daily energy requirements; based on basal metabolism, physical activity, the thermic effect of food, and adaptive thermogenesis.

How does DEXA work?

This noninvasive method uses two low-energy X-ray beams: one detects all tissues including fat mass and bone mass and the other detects only lean body mass. The computer then calculates the difference between lean body mass and fat mass to determine the percentage of body fat.

True

T or F: Body mass index (BMI) can be used to determine if you are at a healthy weight, overweight, or obese.

True

T or F: Eating disorders can be fatal.

True

T or F: Exercise isn't necessary to lose weight.

True

T or F: Lean body mass accounts for 50 percent of BMR.

True

T or F: Men burn more kilocalories than women.

True

T or F: Skinfold calipers are used to measure body composition.

how to accurately measure BMR

While measuring your sympathetic nervous system cannot be stimulated. This is the reason a person's BMR is usually measured in a laboratory setting in the morning while the person lies motionless in a controlled (no shivering or sweating) environment after a 12-hour overnight fast. Neither the digestion of food nor physical activity (which both require energy) is factored into the BMR.
