Energy Expenditure Quiz

What does metabolic rate represent?

• The calories burned during exercise

• The total calories consumed in a day

• The number of calories needed to fuel basic body functions

• The number of calories needed for physical activity

What is the Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)?

• Calories burned during sleep

• Calories burned by the body at rest

• Calories burned while digesting food

• Calories burned during exercise

What is the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF)?

• Calories burned during physical activity

• Calories burned while digesting food

• Calories burned during sleep

• Calories burned at rest

What percentage of daily energy expenditure is typically used for BMR?

• 80% to 90%

• 60% to 75%

• 30% to 50%

• 10% to 20%

What is the formula to calculate Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE)?

• TDEE = TEF + EEA

• TDEE = BMR + PAL

• TDEE = BMR + TEF + EEA

• TDEE = BMR x PAL
