第6章 Eating Habits饮食习惯(5)

Anna:Yes,I did. Look,I got protein from the hamburger and fiber from the salad.It looks quite balanced to me.

Elaine:You should watch your intake of fat,sugar and calories. Normally we need 2,000 calories per day.Let's take a look at your food:a cheeseburger has about 400 calories;a large soda has about 200 calories;those steaks have at least 800 calories.

Anna:For this meal,I have got 1400 calories already. So I can only have 900 calories for the dinner.

Elaine:No. your breakfast also provides you hundreds of calories.The cream and sugar in your coffee also give you a lot of calories.And you put too much dressing on your steaks.You not only watch the number of calories but also the amount of fat and sugar you have every day.

Anna:How can I deal with this problem?

Elaine:Well,remember to eat food that's high in fiber,and low in fat and sugar.

Anna:I see. Thanks.

对话1:

伊莲恩:噢,安娜,你说你在减肥,瞧你餐盘里的东西。

安娜:怎么啦?

伊莲恩:你应该保持营养均衡。

安娜:对呀,我是这样做的啊。看,我从汉堡中摄取蛋白质,从沙拉中摄取纤维,看上去饮食挺均衡的。

伊莲恩:你要注意脂肪和糖的摄入量。通常我们每天需要2000千卡的热量,看看你的食物:芝士汉堡大约400千卡,大杯苏打水约200千卡,牛排至少800千卡。

安娜:这么看来,我这顿饭已经1400千卡了,晚饭只能吃900千卡。

伊莲恩:不对,早餐还提供给你好几百千卡的热量呢。你咖啡里的奶油和糖也提供许多热量,还有你的牛排放太多酱了。你每天不但要注意摄入卡路里的多少,还要注意脂肪和糖的摄入量。

安娜:那我该怎么解决?

伊莲恩:嗯,记住吃含高纤维、低脂肪的食物和糖。

安娜:明白,谢谢。

Conversation 2

Sam:I think I may try to eat a balanced diet.

Ben:Me too. I have changed my diet recently,and I eat a lot healthier now.

Sam:What do you eat?

Ben:My diet consists mainly of fruits,veggies and chicken.

Sam:That's it?

Ben:Yeah. Fruits and veggies give me fiber and chicken meat gives me protein and some minerals.

Sam:No bread and no fried meat?

Ben:Um,I would like to eat some bread;the whole wheat bread is better,but no fried meat which is rich in fat.

Sam:So,what about the drink,coke or coffee?

Ben:None of them,just water or soup. Coke has a lot of carbohydrate,and milk coffee contains fat,too.

Sam:That sounds a bit hard for me.

Ben:You should try it. A balanced diet is good for your health.

本:我的食物主要有水果、蔬菜和鸡肉。

萨姆:就这些?

本:是的,水果和蔬菜提供纤维,鸡肉提供蛋白质和一些矿物质。

萨姆:不吃面包和油炸的肉类吗?

本:嗯,我吃一些面包,最好是全麦面包,但不吃油炸的肉,那含脂肪太多了。

萨姆:那么,喝什么饮料,可乐或咖啡吗?

本:都不要,只喝水或汤就可以。可乐碳水化合物含量太高,牛奶咖啡也含有脂肪。
