LESSON 8: ENERGY BALANCE Flashcards
Capacity to do work
ENERGY
The MEASUREMENT of HEAT or ENERGY produced by food in the body
CALORIMETRY
LEVEL OF ENERGY INTAKE from food that SHOULD MEET the nutritional needs
Energy Requirement
AMOUNT OF ENERGY spent in maintaining the voluntary and involuntary activities of the body as well as the thermogenic effect of food
Energy expenditure
ENERGY MADE available to the body by the oxidation of nutrients from food
Energy Intake
TOTAL AMOUNT OF CONSUMED ENERGY
versus the amount of energy expended
Energy balance
makes use of a bomb calorimeter or a respiration chamber as instruments to measure heat production directly
Direct Calorimetry
well-insulated container used to measure the heat produced by a known amount of food when it is burned
Bomb calorimeter
small well-insulated room
Respiration Chamber
calculated from oxygen consumption
Energy expenditure of humans
At water or physiologic fuel values (PFVs), 4, 4, and 9 kcal for
C, P and F content of food, respectively
Energy value of food
– the source is OXYGEN
CLOSED CIRCUIT
– the source of oxygen is OUTSIDE
OPEN CIRCUIT
When energy intake is _____ expenditure, the individual is in _____ energy
balance. It means that the body tissues, particularly body fat, are broken down (CATABOLISM) to provide the needed energy.
LESS THAN
NEGATIVE
When energy intake EQUALS energy expenditure, the individual is said to be in state of ENERGY BALANCE. → results in WEIGHT MAINTENANCE & maintenance of body composition that normally is about 15% & 25% body fat for males & females, respectively
true or false
true
When energy intake is greater than energy expenditure, the individual is in positive energy balance. This indicates tissue synthesis (ANABOLISM)
TRUE OR FALSE
TRUE
FOUR Factors affecting energy intake
- HUNGER
- APPETITE
- SATIETY
- SATIATION
irritating feeling that motivates a person to eat
HUNGER
