General information Flashcards
TEE (TDEE)
Total daily energy expenditure. Sum of RMR, TEF, and Energy expended during physical activity.
- Weight X 10= RMR
- RMR X Activity Factor = TEE
RMR
Resting Metabolic Rate- Amnt. of energy expended while at rest. 70% of total daily energy expenditure in sedentary person.
TEF- Thermic Effect of Food
Thermic Effect of Food- Rise in metabolic rate after food is ingested. Amount of energy expended above RMR to process food. 6-10% of total daily expenditure. 3% of calories in fat are needed to store it as fat. It takes 23% of calories from carbs to convert it to fat…so it is metabolically inexpensive to store fat.
BMR
Basal Metabolic Rate- Same as RMR but after patient spends night in metabolic chamber.
FFM
Fat free mass-
of Amino acids used to build proteins
20
Essential amino acids
Can’t be made in the body: Isoleucine, Leusine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Tryptophan, Valine.
Nonessential amino acids
Made by the body: Alanine, Asparagine, Aspartic acid, Cysteine, Glutamic acid, Glutamine, Glycine, Proline, Serine, Tyrosine.
What happens to proteins in the stomach
protein strand is opened into peptide chans
What happens to proteins in the Small intestines
further split peptide chains into tripeptides, dipeptides and amino acids.
What happens to proteins in the small intestine’s lining
tripeptides and dipeptides are split into amino acids and absorbed thru intestinal wall and released into blood supply to liver.
Complete protein
All essential amino acids are present in appropriate ratios
incomplete protein
a food source that’s low in one or more essential amino acid.
Gluconeogenesis
When amino acids are used to assist in energy production during a negative energy balance.
Protein intake recommendations
Sedentary 0.8g per kg body weight per day
Strength 1.2-1.7
Endurance 1.2-1.4
10-35%
How many cal does 1 gram of protein yield
4 calories
Glycemic index
Rate at which ingested carbs raise blood sugar and it’s effect on insulin release. Lower on GI scale are good sources of complex carbs, and high in fiber and nutrition.
Glycemic index ratings High
Medium
Low
70 or greater
56-69
55 or less
Recommended fiber intake Men and women
Men 38g/day. Women 25g/day
Carbohydrate intake recommendations
6-10g/kg per day (2.7-4.5 g/lb). 45-65% of caloric intake
Carb loading recommendations 6 days from competition, 4-6 days, and 1-3 days.
4-6 days: 4 g/kg of body weight
1-3 days: 10 g/kg of body weight
Post exercise carb recommendations
1.5g/kg within 30 min. Then again every 2 hours.
How many cal does 1 gram of carbs yield
4 calories
Recommended fiber intake
25-38g
