Ch. 7 Energy Balance/Weight Management Flashcards
the relationship between energy intake and energy expenditure
energy balance
when calories consumed matches the amount of energy expended
energy equilibrium
energy intake exceeds energy expenditure and results in weight gain
positive energy balance
energy intake is less than energy expenditure and weight loss occurs
negative energy balance
basal metabolism = minimum energy expended to keep a
________ alive in a warm,
quiet environment
fasted, resting, awake body
basal metabolism (BMR) is _____% of total energy expenditure
60-70%
if a person is not fasting or rested, the _______ is used
resting metabolism (RMR)
factors that affect basal metabolism
muscle mass, body surface area, gender, temperature, thyroid hormones, life stage
physical activity increases energy expenditure above basal needs by ____% (most variable component)
25-40%
Energy used to digest, absorb,
transport, store, and metabolize
nutrients
thermic effect of food (TEF)
thermic effect of food accounts for _____, influenced by food composition
protein =
carbohydrates =
fats =
5-10% of energy
P = 20-30%
C = 5-10%
F = 0-3%
larger meals have a (lower/higher) TEF
higher
process of heat production
thermogenesis
thermogenesis is a ___ contribution to total energy expenditure; produced when body expends energy for ____
small contribution, non-voluntary physical activity
thermogenesis is triggered by ___; examples include ___
- extreme cold, overfeeding, trauma, etc.
- fidgeting, shivering, maintaining muscle tone, holding body upright
brown adipose tissue is _______ that participates in ____

capillaries and mitochondria; infants and hibernating animals
Physiological drive to find and eat food
hunger
psychological drive to eat
appetite
feeling fed/fulfilled; elicited by _______/___/___
satiety; sensory aspects of food/chewing/feeling food in stomach/knowing that we’ve eaten
true/false: we can override internal regulations of eatings
true
____ regulates satiety
hypothalamus
___ stimulates food intake
ghrelin
____ decreases food intake

where is ghrelin produced? when is it released?
stomach; when you haven’t eaten
where is leptin produced?
adipose tissue
