Energy Intake, Energy Expendature And Energy Balance

Question 1

Define energy intake (EI)

Answer 1

EI is the total calories consumed by food or drink

Question 2

Define energy expenditure (EE)

Answer 2

EE is the total calories used

Question 3

How do you work out EE

Answer 3

EE = BMR + physical activity + thermic effect

Question 4

Define energy balance

Answer 4

Energy balance is the relationship between EI and EE

Question 5

Define basil metabolic rate (BMR)

Answer 5

BMR is their lowest amount of calories needed to carry out the bodies physiological processes at rest after 8 hours sleep and 12 hours fasted

Question 6

Define positive energy balance

Answer 6

A positive energy balance is where EI is more than EE and you will gain weight

Question 7

Define negative energy balance

Answer 7

A negative energy balance is where EE is more than EI and so you will loose weight

Question 8

Define what a neutral energy balance is

Answer 8

A neutral energy balance is where EE is the same a sEI and so you mentain weight

Question 9

What is the range of MET’s for moderate intensity exercise

Answer 9

2-5 MET’s

Question 10

What is the MET value to which over is high intensity exercise

Answer 10

6+ MET’s

Question 11

How do you work out your BMR per hour

Answer 11

BMR per hour = ((KG x 24) x body fat range) divided by 24

Question 12

what is MET

Answer 12

MET is where VO2 = 3.5ml/kg/hr

Question 13

Define MET

Answer 13

MET is a physiological meausure expressing the energy expenditure during physical activities

Question 14

Define thermic effect

Answer 14

Thermic effect is the energy/calories used in the process of eating, digestion good and absorbing food
