  • Pounds on the scale

  • Body Mass Index (BMR)

  • Body Composition (lean mass vs. body-fat)

 

2.)   The wordcalorierelates to:

  • Combustion (to produce energy)

Grams

Calories

Fat

5

 45

Carbohydrate

 10

40

Protein

20

 80

 

 

 

4.)   Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the:

  • Minimum amount of calories required for vitalbodily functions during a relaxed, reclined and waking state

  • Amount of calories required to heat a one (1) cup of water one (1) degree Celsius in one (1) minute

  • Amount of energy used during an intense workout

 

5.)   The most healthy way to decrease body-fat is:

  • Drop your caloric intake below 800 calories per day

  • Through a slight negative energy balance where the caloric expenditure slightly exceeds the caloric intake

  • Liposuction

 

6.)   The body’s first choice for fuel is:

  • Stored fat

  • Stored glycogen

  • Stored protein

 

7.)   The body can convert fat into glucose to feed its nervous system and metabolism:

  • True

  • False

 

8.)   The body can convert protein into glucose to feed its nervous system and metabolism:

  • True

  • False

 

9.)   When caloric intake goes below BMR, as in commercial weight-loss programs, the body will:

  • Perceive starvation and create a “survival” metabolism

  • Burn muscle to fuel its energy requirements

  • Slow down metabolism to reduce energy requirements

  • Store even more body-fat to fend off the perceived threat of starvation

  • All of the above

 

10.) People who continue to go on and off “restricted calorie” diet programs typically rebound to a higher weight after each round of dieting.  This rebound effect is known as:
