On a per-kilogram basis, why does a small mammal such as a shrewrequire so much more energy than does an elephant or other largemammal?
If your energy needs are 2500 kcal per day, what percent of your daily value of the following:
1. total fat, if you ate 1.5 grams of fat?
2. sodium, if you ate 150 mg of sodium?
3. dietary fiber, if you ate 4 grams of fiber?
If a person consumes 120 kcal per day in excess of need, what weight gain does the static energy balance equation predict compared to the dynamic energy balance equation?
