Q: A 30-year-old sedentary male wants to estimate his daily energy requirement. Which formula should he use?

$$EER = 662 - [9.53 \times \text{age (y)}] + PA \times [15.91 \times \text{wt (kg)} + 539.6 \times \text{ht (m)}]$$

Q: A 45-year-old woman, 70 kg, 1.65 m tall, with a moderate activity level (PA = 1.27), wants to estimate her EER. Which is the correct formula and substitution?

$$EER = 354 - (6.91 \times 45) + 1.27 \times [(9.36 \times 70) + (726 \times 1.65)]$$

Q: A 25-year-old male, 80 kg, 1.80 m tall, with a high activity level (PA = 1.48), wants to estimate his EER. Which is the correct calculation setup?

$$EER = 662 - (9.53 \times 25) + 1.48 \times [(15.91 \times 80) + (539.6 \times 1.80)]$$

Q: Which of the following is the correct conversion for a person weighing 154 pounds to kilograms?

$$\text{Weight (kg)} = \frac{154}{2.2} = 70 kg$$

Question 1

Which of the following best describes the three main components of Total Energy Expenditure (TEE) as illustrated in the image?

Accepted Answer

Basal metabolism, thermic effect of food, and physical activity

Question 2

If a person increases their physical activity but keeps their food intake and basal metabolism constant, what will happen to their energy balance?

Accepted Answer

They will shift toward a negative energy balance

Question 3

Which organ is responsible for the largest proportion of basal metabolic energy expenditure?

Accepted Answer

Liver

Question 4

A 30-year-old sedentary male wants to estimate his daily energy requirement. Which formula should he use?

Accepted Answer

$$EER = 662 - [9.53 	imes 	ext{age (y)}] + PA 	imes [15.91 	imes 	ext{wt (kg)} + 539.6 	imes 	ext{ht (m)}]$$

Question 5

Which of the following statements about the thermic effect of food (TEF) is correct?

Accepted Answer

TEF accounts for about 10% of the calories consumed in an average diet

Question 6

Which factor is most under voluntary control and can significantly increase total energy expenditure?

Accepted Answer

Physical activity

Question 7

A 45-year-old woman, 70 kg, 1.65 m tall, with a moderate activity level (PA = 1.27), wants to estimate her EER. Which is the correct formula and substitution?

Accepted Answer

$$EER = 354 - (6.91 	imes 45) + 1.27 	imes [(9.36 	imes 70) + (726 	imes 1.65)]$$

Question 8

Which of the following is NOT a factor that affects basal metabolic rate (BMR)?

Accepted Answer

Daily water intake

Question 9

If a person is in positive energy balance, what is most likely to occur?

Accepted Answer

They will gain weight

Question 10

Which of the following best describes the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) for adults for protein?

Accepted Answer

10–35% of total calories

Question 11

A 25-year-old male, 80 kg, 1.80 m tall, with a high activity level (PA = 1.48), wants to estimate his EER. Which is the correct calculation setup?

Accepted Answer

$$EER = 662 - (9.53 	imes 25) + 1.48 	imes [(15.91 	imes 80) + (539.6 	imes 1.80)]$$

Question 12

Which of the following scenarios would most likely result in a decrease in basal metabolic rate (BMR)?

Accepted Answer

Prolonged caloric restriction or starvation

Question 13

Which of the following is the correct conversion for a person weighing 154 pounds to kilograms?

Accepted Answer

$$	ext{Weight (kg)} = \frac{154}{2.2} = 70 kg$$

Question 14

Which of the following best describes the relationship between energy intake and energy output for weight maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Energy intake equals energy output

Question 15

Which of the following is a correct statement about the effect of aging on basal metabolic rate (BMR)?

Accepted Answer

BMR generally decreases with age due to loss of muscle mass
