NUTRI EXAM TB QUESTIONS WITH /
The energy needed to maintain life-sustaining activities for a specific period of
time at rest is known as
a. BMR.
b. REE.
c. Nutrients.
d. Nutrient density.
The basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the energy needed to maintain life-sustaining
activities for a specific period of time at rest. The resting energy expenditure (REE),
or resting metabolic rate, is the amount of energy an individual needs to consume
over a 24-hour period for the body to maintain all of its internal working activities
while at rest. Nutrients are the elements necessary for body processes and function.
Nutrient density is the proportion of essential nutrients to the number of
kilocalories. High nutrient density foods provide a large number of nutrients in
relation to kilocalories.
In general, when energy requirements are completely met by kilocalorie (kcal)
intake in food
a. Weight increases.
b.Weight decreases.
c. Weight does not change.
d. Kilocalories are not a factor.
c. Weight does not change.
In general, when energy requirements are completely met by kilocalorie (kcal)
intake in food, weight does not change. When kilocalories ingested exceed a
persons energy demands, the individual gains weight. If kilocalories ingested fail
