新华网8月1日电 据《太阳报》报道，新研究表明，英国人均每日摄入3450卡路里的热量，相当于7个巨无霸。
政府建议女性应日均摄入2,000卡路里，男性2,500卡路里。也就是说，英国人现在所摄入的热量远远超出需要。当然，这个困扰不仅仅发生在英国。奥地利每人每天摄入3,800大卡的热量，在希腊这个数字是3,710，比利时是3,690。我们的健康正受到威胁。
《太阳报》的营养学家阿曼达·厄赛尔说，我们必须要学会控制进食的份量。“我们几乎总是拿到多少食物就吃光多少，这样问题就来了···例如，通常一天内我们只会多摄入几百卡的多余热量，但时间一长就会积累下来，体重就涨上去了。” “每天多摄入200大卡的多余热量，一年下来就会多摄入73,000大卡。相当于增加约5磅的体重。”
这里提供了一些关于食物的算术，可供比对一下英国人摄入的3.450大卡热量是什么概念。

THE average Brit scoffs an amazing 3,450 calories a DAY, according to new research the equivalent of SEVEN Big Macs.
The Government recommends that women eat only 2,000 calories a day and men 2,500, which means we are eating far more than we should. And we are not alone. In Austria, the average calorie consumption is 3,800 a day. In Greece it is 3,710. And Belgians put away a hefty 3,690 calories. And our health is suffering.
Sun nutritionist Amanda Ursell says we need to learn to control our portion sizes. She says: “The problem comes because we almost always eat the portions that we are served.
“For example, it only takes a few hundred extra calories here and there over the course of a typical day to gradually build up and trigger a gain in weight.
“An extra 200 calories a day over a year will lead to an excess of 73,000 calories. This equates to a weight gain of around 1st 5lb.”
