Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measure of body composition and does not represent caloric energy expenditure. The other options represent different ways in which the body expends energy/calories. B is physical activity, which ranges from moderate to vigorous and includes exercise as well as daily activities such as walking, cleaning, and gardening. C is BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate), which is the amount of energy the body uses just to keep all of its systems functioning while at rest. This makes up the majority of total energy expenditure. D is adaptive thermogenesis, which refers to the energy the body uses to adapt to changes in environment, stress, and dietary intake. This includes the energy used to digest and absorb food, as well as the energy used to maintain body temperature and hormone levels.
