Wk1 Nutrition and Energy Flashcards
BMI equation:
weight (kg) / height^2 (cm)
DEE = ?
daily energy expenditure:
basal metabolism + physical activity + thermic effect of food
BMR = ?
Basal Metabolic Rate (or REE–resting energy expenditure=BMR + DIT(diet induced thermogenesis))
**DIT can be ignored
energy needed to sustain cellular and organ function while at rest
DEE for healthy sedentary adult:
REE x 1.2
DEE for healthy active adult:
REE x 1.4
DEE for recovering from trauma:
REE x 1.6
RQ = ?
volume of CO2 exhaled / volume of O2 inhaled
least oxidized, most reduced dietary fuel:
fat
dietary fuel requiring most O2 inhaled per CO2 exhaled:
fat
dietary fuel with lowest RQ:
fat
most oxidized dietary fuel:
carbs
dietary fuel requiring least O2 inhaled per CO2 exhaled:
carbs
dietary fuel with highest RQ:
carbs
Carbs get burned for fuel more readily in the fed or fasted state?
fed
Fat gets burned for fuel more than carbs in the fed or starved state?
starved
