Gaining & Losing weight
• Whether a person gains or loses weight depends on:– Energy intake vs. energy expenditure– Genetic factors– Childhood weight– Behavioral factors– Social factors
![Page 3: Energy Balance Body Composition](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56812c24550346895d908d4c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Energy Balance
• Energy balance– Occurs when energy intake = energy
expenditure– Energy intake = kcal from food– Energy expenditure = energy
expended at rest + during physical activity
![Page 4: Energy Balance Body Composition](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56812c24550346895d908d4c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Energy Expenditure
• BMR• Physical activity• Thermic Effects
– Cost of food processing
![Page 6: Energy Balance Body Composition](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56812c24550346895d908d4c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Energy Balance
• Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)– Energy expended to maintain basal, or
resting, functions of the body• highest proportion of total energy expenditure
– More lean tissue increases your BMR– BMR decreases with age
• ~3-5% per decade after 30
– Estimating BMR• body weight (kg) * 1.0 kcal/kg/hour
![Page 7: Energy Balance Body Composition](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56812c24550346895d908d4c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
So, obese people have lower BMR, right?
![Page 8: Energy Balance Body Composition](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56812c24550346895d908d4c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Factors affecting BMR
![Page 9: Energy Balance Body Composition](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56812c24550346895d908d4c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Energy Balance
• Thermic Effect of Food (TEF)– Energy expended to process food– ~5-10% of total kcal of the meal
• 500 kcal meal costs 25 - 50 kcal to process
– Fats require little energy to digest, transport & absorb
– Proteins & Carbs require more
![Page 10: Energy Balance Body Composition](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56812c24550346895d908d4c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Physical Activity
• 20-35% of total energy output• Includes everything above basal level
– Sitting, standing, walking
• Moving large muscles requires more Energy
• Calculating Energy expenditure:– Energy Cost (kcal/kg/min) * Time (min)
• Do a couple

![Page 12: Energy Balance Body Composition](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56812c24550346895d908d4c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Genetic factors• Different hypotheses explain the impact
of genetics on body fat– Thrifty Gene Theory– Set-point Theory– Leptin Theory
![Page 13: Energy Balance Body Composition](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56812c24550346895d908d4c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Thrifty Gene Theory• H1: individuals with the gene use less
energy (at all times) than people who do not possess the gene– More efficient fat storage– Lower metabolic rates
• Evolutionary story: Protection against starvation during lean times
• Applied to American Indian populations with high rates of obesity & diabetes
– Evidence: No direct; little indirect
![Page 14: Energy Balance Body Composition](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56812c24550346895d908d4c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Set-Point Theory• H1: Body is tuned to maintain weight
within a narrow range, or “set-point”• Evidence:
– Body appears to maintain weight @ present level
– Rebound weight gain among dieters– Occasional over-eating often does not
result in weight gain– Can change set point through consistent,
long term changes in diet & exercise
![Page 15: Energy Balance Body Composition](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56812c24550346895d908d4c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Leptin Theory
• Leptin: hormone produced by adipose cells; goes systemic– Binds to neurons in “satiety center” in
brain; inhibits neurons that stimulate feelings of hunger
– Increased production reduces food intake, body weight and body fat
![Page 16: Energy Balance Body Composition](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56812c24550346895d908d4c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Childhood weight• Environmental factors in childhood
influence– Food choices– Activity levels– Later adult behaviors
• Childhood overweight increases the risk of heart disease and premature death as an adult
![Page 17: Energy Balance Body Composition](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56812c24550346895d908d4c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Behavioral Choices
• Food Choices – Composition of diet should remain
balanced– Overeating dietary fat increases obesity
faster than overeating carbs or proteins– Why?
• Less energy required to digest fats than other two
• More easily stored as adipose tissue…no conversion necessary
![Page 18: Energy Balance Body Composition](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56812c24550346895d908d4c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Behavioral Choices
• Hunger vs. Appetite– Appetite = psychological desire to eat;
cause overeating– “Satiety mechanism” malfunction
• Hormone or sensory receptor malfunction• Increase or decrease satiety
![Page 19: Energy Balance Body Composition](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56812c24550346895d908d4c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Social Factors
• Social factors influence our diet:– Family or cultural traditions– Holidays and celebrations– Easy access to high-fat foods– Less physically active lifestyles– Societal expectations of the “perfect”
body
![Page 20: Energy Balance Body Composition](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56812c24550346895d908d4c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
How many kcals do we need?
• Manual calculation:– BMR (women) = body weight (kg) * 0.9 kcal/
kg/hour– BMR (men) = body weight (kg) * 1.0 kcal/ kg/hour
• 77.3 kg * 1 * 24 = 1855 kcal
– Activity = some percentage of BMR; Ex: 70%• 1855 kcal * 0.70 = 1299 kcal• 1855 + 1299 = 3154 kcal
• How many are you eating? Recall:– Fats: 9 kcal/gram– Carbs: 4 kcal /gram– Proteins: 4 kcal/gram

What is a healthful body weight?
• Appropriate for your age• Maintained without constant dieting• Is acceptable to you• Based on family history of body shape
and weight• Promotes healthful eating habits and
allows for regular physical activity
![Page 22: Energy Balance Body Composition](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56812c24550346895d908d4c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Evaluating body weight
• Actual weight is not the only factor to consider
• Determining if a person’s body weight is healthful should include:
1. Determining the Body Mass Index (BMI)2. Measuring body composition3. Assessing the pattern of fat distribution
![Page 23: Energy Balance Body Composition](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56812c24550346895d908d4c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Evaluating body weight
• Body Mass Index = BMI– BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)2
– BMI values below 18.5 or above 30 have increased risks of health problems
![Page 24: Energy Balance Body Composition](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56812c24550346895d908d4c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

![Page 28: Energy Balance Body Composition](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56812c24550346895d908d4c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Achieving & maintaining healthy weight
• Healthful weight change requires– Gradual change in energy intake– Regular and appropriate physical
exercise– Application of behavior modification
techniques
![Page 29: Energy Balance Body Composition](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56812c24550346895d908d4c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Losing weight
– Follow recommended serving sizes– Reduce intake of high-fat and high-
energy foods (~20%)– Regular physical exercise (of ANY kind will do,
but which kinds preferentially burn fat?)
• Increase energy expenditure• Increase BMR
![Page 30: Energy Balance Body Composition](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56812c24550346895d908d4c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Gaining weight– Eat 500 to 1,000 extra kcal/day– Eat frequently throughout the day– Maintain a balanced diet; keep fat intake
to 25-30% of total energy intake– Avoid tobacco products
• depresses appetite; increase BMR
– Regular exercise with resistance training• Promotes conversion of calories to lean
muscle rather that fat
![Page 31: Energy Balance Body Composition](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56812c24550346895d908d4c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Gaining weight
• Supplements?• Studies continue to show no effect of
AA and protein supplements:– No gains in muscle mass and strength, nor
in performance– Including androstenedione (Mark McGuire)
• Some effects of this supplement are increased LDL:HDL levels (why bad?) & mood disturbances
• Also, those unfortunate (if you’re a male) feminizing characteristics
![Page 32: Energy Balance Body Composition](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56812c24550346895d908d4c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Disorders & Energy intake
• Underweight: having too little body fat to maintain health– BMI less than 18.5 kg/m2
– Increases risk of infection and illness• Overweight:
– BMI of 25 - 29.5 kg/m2
– Some health risks; most importantly, adopt healthier lifestyle to avoid becoming obese
![Page 33: Energy Balance Body Composition](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56812c24550346895d908d4c/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Obesity & Morbid obesity• Obesity: Having excess body fat that
adversely effects health• BMI 30 - 39.9 kg/m2
• BMI > 40 kg/m2 = morbidly obese– Body weight exceeds 100% of normal
• Morbid obesity: body weight exceeding 100% of normal, creating a very high risk for serious health complications

Increase in childhood obesity
![Page 36: Energy Balance Body Composition](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56812c24550346895d908d4c/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Critical periods
• Weight gain in specific life stages have strong effects on weight later in life.
• Weight gain in these periods increase risk of adult obesity & related diseases– Gestation & early infancy– Ages 5-7– Adolescence
