1.)   The most accurate form of measurement for long-term health and weight-management is (check one):

• Pounds on the scale

• Body Mass Index (BMR)

2.)   The word “calorie” relates to:

• Combustion (to produce energy)

• Fat on your body

• Carbohydrate

3.)         Make the following conversions:

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
