Women tend to eat more calories and fat when dining out, regardless of what their usual eating habits are, new research suggests.
新研究显示，女性外食时倾向吃更多卡路里与脂肪，不管她们平常的饮食习惯如何。
The study, which included both binge-eaters and dieters, found that both groups of women ate out frequently — and downed between 200 and 300 extra calories a day in the process.
这份对象涵盖暴饮暴食者与节食者的研究，发现两种族群的女性都常外食，而且在过程中，一天多吃下200到300卡路里。
Moreover, women who were prone to binge-eating problems often overindulged when eating out, according to findings published in the Western Journal of Nursing Research.
此外，这份刊登在西方营养学研究期刊的研究发现，有暴饮暴食倾向的女性，常在外食时过分放纵。
Many experts have pointed to Americans’ love of dining out as a potential reason for the nation’s ever-expanding waistline. Fast food, as well as the hefty portion sizes at restaurants in general, catch much of the blame.
许多专家指出，美国人喜爱外食，是这个国家的国民腰围日渐扩张的一项潜在原因。速食，以及一般餐厅的大份量餐点，最为人诟病。
Dieters and binge-eaters alike ate 200 to 300 extra calories, as well as 10 to 16 extra grams of fat, on days when they dined out.
节食者与暴饮暴食者都一样，在她们外食的日子里，会多吃200到300额外的卡路里，以及10到16公克额外的脂肪。
