BIOD 121 NUTRITION EVALUATION EXAM Q & A
1. Anthropometrics estimates a person’s percentage of fat by:
Comparing the amount of oxygen consumed with the amount of carbon
dioxide expired
Measuring the heat produced in a sealed chamber
Comparing weight on land to underwater weight
Using a caliper
Be familiar with medical procedures used in rare cases for those who need
extreme measures to lose weight.
2. Indirect calorimetry estimates a person’s energy requirements by:
Comparing the amount of oxygen consumed with the amount of
carbon dioxide expired
Measuring the heat produced in a sealed chamber
Comparing weight on land to underwater weight
Measuring the amount of fat deposited under the skin
3. Direct calorimetry estimates a person’s energy requirements by:
Comparing the amount of oxygen consumed with the amount of carbon
dioxide expired
Measuring the heat produced in a sealed chamber
Comparing weight on land to underwater weight
, Measuring the amount of fat deposited under the skin
4. What range of BMI values represents a person with a healthy weight?
18.5 - < 25
1. Calculate the Estimated Energy Requirement (EER) for a female who is
23
years old, 5 feet 4 inches tall, and 130 pounds with a sedentary lifestyle.
Use BMR and an activity factor to find the EER.
BMR Calculations:
Male BMR = 66 + (6.23 x weight in pounds) + (12.7 x height in
inches) - (6.8 x age)
Female BMR = 655 + (4.35 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in
inches) - (4.7 x age)
Physical Activity (PA) Estimates
1.2 = little to no exercise
1.375 = light exercise 1-3 days per week
1.55 = moderate exercise 3-5 days per week
1.725 = hard exercise 6-7 days per week
1.9 = hard daily exercise/job
Female BMR = 655 + (4.35 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in
inches) - (4.7 x age)
