Question Answer
Name 3 contributors to energy input Food, Drink, Air, Gut, Skin, Lungs
Name 4 contributors to energy output Faecal loss, urine, other body fluids, air, gut, bladder, skin, lungs.
what is nutritional balance intake = loss
intake > losses = ? Positive balance
Intake < losses = ? Negative balance

Name 4 degradable nutrients Protein, fat, carbohydrates, fibre, vitamins.
The time it takes to measure balance is dependent on ______ The nutrient
Name 5 forms of energy Heat, light, electrical, magnetic, kinetic , potential, chemical
heat + kinetic + potential = ? Chemical
When is chemical energy released? When bonds between atoms in nutrient molecules are released.
What are the units of energy? Joules ( J ) Calories ( cal )
1 calorie = ? J 4.184
Approximately how many calories does an average adult use per 24 hours? 1800 - 3000 kcal
What are the atwater values for the macronutrients? Carbohydrate - 4 kcal/g Fat - 9 kcal/g Protein - 4 kcal/g Alcohol - 7 kcal/g
How does a bomb calorimeter work? Food is blended and dehydrated so it can be burnt. Models are used for food and environmental samples. Samples are homogenized and dried.
What is digestible energy (including equation) ? All energy which isn't excreted including body stores. ~ 96% of energy is absorbed. DE = GE - Faecal energy.
What is Metabolizable energy (including equation) ? Energy which is used, not stored. ~84% GE ME = DE (fat) + DE (CHO) + [0.75 x DE (protein)] not all protein is digested - 25% lost in urine.
What is Net Metabolizable Energy? NME = ME - ΔHE
What is Respiratory Quotient and its equation? Oxidation of macronutrients. Ratio of CO2 produced to oxygen used. RQ = CO2/O2
What are the Respiratory Quotients for the macronutrients? Carb - 1.00 Fat - 0.70 Protein - 0.82 Alcohol - 0.67
If a person eats a high fat / low CHO intake will the RQ be high or low? Low
Total Energy Expenditure = ? TEE = Basal metabolic Rate + Dietary induced thermogenesis + energy of physical activity + others.
What is basal metabolic rate? the energy costs of the essential metabolic processes required to maintain life.
What conditions does a person have to be in to measure BMR? lying down, resting (awake), at least 10 hours after last intake, normal body temp, in thermal comfort, without physical/ psychological stress.
What proportion of TEE is BMR? usually 60-70% can be 50-80%
what are the other names for BMR? Why might these be used instead of BMR? Resting metabolic rate (RMR) Resting energy expenditure (REE) Same component but may not be measured under such strict conditions as they are often very difficult to maintain.
What biological components contribute? Heart and respiratory muscle contractions Kidney function Electrical conductivity of nerves Protein synthesis Metabolic processes.
Fill in the table
Put in order of which contribute more - less of % BMR skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, vital organs 1. Vital organs 2. Skeletal muscle 3. Adipose tissue
What influences BMR? body comp, sex, age, disease/ injury, thyroid function.
What is Dietary induced thermogenesis? The increase in energy expenditure observed after nutrient intake
What proportion of TEE is DIT? usually 5- 15%
What are other names for DIT? post-prandial thermogenesis specific dynamic action thermic effect of food/ a meal
What contributes to DIT? Digestion, Absorption, Transport of nutrients, Post-absorptive metabolism, Storage of excess dietary energy.
What influences DIT? Food eaten Time since consumption
If quantity of intake increases will DIT increase or decrease? Increase
If the ratio of CHO : fat increases will DIT increase or decrease? Increase
What is the maximum response time to measure DIT? ~ 1 hour after nutrient intake
What is the definition for physical activity? the increase in energy expenditure observed with physical activity.
What proportion of TEE is PA? Usually 20- 40% Most variable component and depends on the individual
What are other names for PA? thermic effect of exercise thermic effect of activity activity induced thermogenesis
What contributes to PA? Physical movement of the body, heat loss
What influences PA? Activity, Subject
What influences actiivity? Type, intensity, duration, frequency
What influences the subject? Body mass, 'fitness', efficiency
What is the equation for Physical Activity Ratio? energy spent doing activity in x mins/ energy spent in BMR in x mins
Give 3 examples of PAR values 1.0 - 1.4 - lying, standing 1.5 - 1.8 - driving, washing up 1.9 - 2.4 - cooking, mixed housework 2.5 - 3.3 - showering, walking 3-4 km/hr 3.4-4.4 - gardening, walking 4- 6 km/hr 4.5 - 5.9 - dancing, gentle cycling 6.0 - 7.9 - walking uphill, running >8.0 - squash, rock climbing
What are other components of Energy expenditure? non- exercise activity adaptive psychological cold induced drug induced
What is non- exercise activity thermogenesis? include an example NEAT = TEE - ( BMR + DIT + exercise) eg . fidgeting
What are other names for adaptive thermogenesis? non- shivering thermogenesis facultative thermogenesis regulatory thermogenesis
What is adaptive thermogenesis? Activation or suppression of 'futile cycles'
Explain the effect of psychological thermogenesis on energy expenditure. if there is psychological stress energy expenditure increases. It is mediated by stress hormones and can increase heart rate and respiration.
