据外媒报道，近来美国人摄取的卡路里越来越少，但是肥胖率却越来越高。分析称，这是由于美国人的热量摄取减少了，但是相应的身体活动量减少，造成体重仍然上涨。
据报道，在过去十年中，美国人都在设法减少卡路里的摄入量，卡路里的总量减少，一般人都在减少热量摄取，他们最少选择的食品种类是附加糖和软饮料。
越来越多的美国人现在被认为是肥胖而不是超重，这似乎表示美国人中的大胖子现在变得更胖。华盛顿大学副教授帕克（Yikyung Park）称，很明显美国的肥胖率上升了，而且会继续稳定地上升。
部分原文报道如下：
Americans are getting some frustrating nutrition news right now: We've managed to cut calorie intake nationally over the last decade, but our obesity rates are going up-outpacing our overweight rates in general. The problem seems to be that everyone's okay with consuming less, as long as they don't have to do more.
Lazy, right?
So the good news is that overall calorie consumption is down. The average person is consuming less, and the category they're consuming the least of is added sugars and sodas.
