Across
- 2. The role of genes in predisposing some people to obesity, with physical activity and diet being the predominant factors in determining the rate and extent of weight gain.
- 5. A type of macronutrient that the body uses as a source of energy.
- 6. Fat that is stored in the abdominal region of the body. Men typically deposit fat in the abdominal region, leading to apple-shaped android obesity.
- 9. The amount of energy available to meet the body’s needs after accounting for energy input and physical activity energy expenditure.
- 10. The act of using energy, especially during physical activity or metabolic processes.
- 11. The accumulation of fat in the abdominal region, leading to an apple-shaped body. This is more common in men.
- 13. Related to the types of food and drink a person consumes.
- 14. The number of calories you expend in a day.
- 16. Units of energy; in the context of diet and weight loss, it refers to the amount of energy you ingest as food and beverages. It is measured in Calories (kilocalories [kcal], which equals 1,000 calories).
- 17. The process of burning or oxidizing fat to produce ATP (energy).
- 19. The overall physical dimensions of a person's body, which can affect resting metabolic rate (RMR) and daily energy expenditure.
- 20. The total mass of a person's body, which is affected by energy balance (energy intake vs. energy output).
- 21. The concept that the ATP-producing processes in cells are not 100% efficient, resulting in energy lost as heat.
- 22. A type of macronutrient that the body uses as a source of energy.
- 23. An increased rate of burning or oxidizing fat to produce energy (ATP).
Down
- 1. Synthetic stimulants that are found in weight-loss supplements and may pose health risks.
- 3. A component of fat that the body breaks down and oxidizes for energy.
- 4. The degree of heat maintained by the body, which is influenced by metabolic processes and energy expenditure.
- 7. The desire to eat food, influenced by various factors including hunger, satiety, and emotional connections with eating.
- 8. A range of exercise intensity (often linked to exercise heart rate) that maximizes the amount of fat being burned during exercise.
- 9. The relationship between energy intake and energy output. Weight loss occurs when energy expenditure exceeds energy intake.
- 12. The proportion of fat, muscle, bone, and other tissues that make up a person's body weight.
- 15. The amount of energy (or calories) that a person uses in a day.
- 18. A type of fat cell with more mitochondria and capillaries than white fat cells; it's inefficient in ATP production, breaking down fatty acids to produce heat.
