What does MET measure?
Physical activity intensity
What term means maintaining enough water in the body?
Hydration
What does ABV stand for?
Alcohol by Volume
Which nutrient is mainly responsible for the growth, maintenance, and repair of body tissues?
Protein
What happens when calories consumed are approximately equal to calories used?
Balanced Energy
Which is an example of moderate-intensity physical activity?
When should physically active individuals drink water?
Before, during, and after physical activity
What does BAC measure?
The concentration of alcohol in the bloodstream
How many calories does one gram of fat provide?
9 kcal
What type of energy balance occurs when calories consumed are greater than calories used?
Positive Energy Balance
Approximately how many METs are involved in moderate physical activity?
3–6 METs
Give two important functions of water in the body.
Any two: Regulates body temperature, transports nutrients, removes waste, supports exercise performance.
Which has a higher alcohol concentration: a beverage with 5% ABV or 12% ABV? And what kind of alcohol is it?

Fats
Identify the three major components of daily energy expenditure.
Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR), Thermic Effect of Food (TEF), and Physical Activity
Why is physical activity considered the most variable component of daily energy expenditure?
Because people's activity levels differ depending on their lifestyle, exercise, work, and daily activities.
Why are sustainable healthy habits better than crash dieting?
Sustainable habits promote long-term health and can be maintained over time, while crash diets can lead to problems such as muscle loss and poor physical performance.
Explain the difference between ABV and BAC.
ABV refers to the percentage of alcohol in a beverage, while BAC refers to the concentration of alcohol in a person's bloodstream.
