Question

which would be a measure in determining body composition?
○ amount of water excreted a day
○ amount of protein consumed
○ the percentage of fat in the body
○ the percentage of sugar consumed

Explanation:

To determine body composition, we analyze each option:

• "Amount of water excreted a day" relates to water balance, not body composition.
• "Amount of protein consumed" and "the percentage of sugar consumed" relate to dietary intake, not the body's internal composition.
• "The percentage of fat in the body" directly measures a component of body composition (fat vs. lean mass, etc.).

Answer:

C. the percentage of fat in the body
