thermos effect of food
the energy needed to digest, absorb, transport, & metabolize
what percent of our e intake is used to metabolize food
5-10%
when you eat more kcal then u burn, extra energy is stored as
- TRIGLYCERIDE (stored in adipose)
- GLYCOGEN (in liver & muscles)
adipocytes grown in size as
as they accumulate more
glycogen storage
- AA from protein 1st used to synthesize body protein
- carbs used to maintain blood glucose + build glycogen stores
- ## some fats used to meet needs
determine how many k cal are needed by
estimated energy requirements and DRI
how is BMI measured
BMI = body weight (kg) / height (m)^2
underweight BMI
<18.5
normal weight BMI
18.5 - 24.9
over weight
25 - 29.9
obese class 1 BMI
30 - 34.9
obese class 2
35 - 39.9
obese class 3
> 40
viceral adipose tissue:
fat around organs
subcutaneous adipose tissue
fat under the skin
visceral adipose tissue is more
metabolically active
more visceral adipose tissue is related to
⬆️ risk of chronic disease (ex: diabetes)
visceral adipose tissue as seen in people with
apple body shape
body pod
measures volume by displacement
skinflint thickness
subcutaneous fat levels (ex: tricep, back, thigh)
