What syndrome is a disorder characterized by intake of the majority of the day's energy between 8PM and 6AM?
night eating syndrome
What happens when energy intake exceeds the body's energy needs?
Ambot
What is energy balanced?
Energy balance can be described by this equation : Energy intake = internal heat produced + external work + energy stored.
Does an excess of intake of any energy nutrient lead to overweight?
yes
Is marasmus a serious condition resulting from inadequate intake of protein and energy?
Yes
What is calorie intake?
it is the amount of calories a person consumes in a day either by eating or drinking.
What is outcome goals for caloric intake expenditure?
By reducing caloric intake, one would lose weight. By increasing caloric intake, you'd gain weight.
What are some dangers of being in long term negative balance for caloric intake?
You can run out of energy, and eventually die.
What does caloric intake have to do with the amount of physical activity one participates in?
Caloric intake has a lot to do with the amount of physical activity a person participates in. If someone has a high caloric intake but they don't exercise or move a lot, they will gain weight.
What is the relationship between energy balance and a healthy weight?
Energy balance is based upon dietary/caloric intake and metabolism. Healthy weight can be based on values based on height and weight, such as the body mass index (BMI). Insufficient caloric intake can result in starvation mode, where despite less food consumed the body may gain weight, and slow metabolism. Energy balance requires the body meeting its needed caloric intake, while being exercised for cardiovascular health, and to maintain/grow lean muscle mass.
What happens if your daily caloric intake is the same as your caloric output?
weight maintenance will occur
Does weight loss occur when caloric intake and caloric needs are balanced?
No. Intake balanced with needs means to me that you are putting into your body the same amount of energy that you burn each day. There would be no storing of fat and no burning of fat. If you were exercising and gaining muscle you would actually gain weight. The only way I could see weight loss occurring while caloric needs were balanced with caloric intake would be if you became less active and had muscle atrophy while simultaneously realizing your reduced needs, thus reducing caloric intake accordingly. You would lose the muscle weight.
What will drastically restricting caloric intake do?
BPE
When selecting a mode of exercise for a client it important to consider the?

Do you get fat by eating an orange?
The general intake of oranges as part of a normal diet should not cause problems. However, you can get fat by eating almost anything If the caloric content of your intake exceeds your energy output then the excess amount is stored as fat. Ay 60 some calories per cup each orange would add an extra 5 to 10% caloric contentto normal daily diet.A diet of only oranges would cause more problems than just weight gain.
How does the body meet its energy rquirments with lack of food?
It doesn't. Food is necessary for energy (from carbohydrate caloric intake), as well as for essential amino acids, fats, minerals and vitamins.
Why are you not making any significant gains with your weight training?
Caloric burn MUST exceed caloric intake.
