Studies on obesity and overweight measure the actual caloric amount in the foods selected or consumed. However, the food choices of individuals partly depend, if weight is a concern, on their social perception of caloric values of various foods. The study concerned the accuracy of 53 males and 82 females of various weight categories in their perception of the caloric content of various types of food. The more females weigh the more calories they perceive in food while the more males weigh the less calories they perceive in food. Both males and females overestimate the caloric content of desserts, particularly in comparison to main dishes like meat and potatoes.
关于肥胖和超重的研究测量了所选或食用食物中的实际热量。然而，如果体重是一个关注点，个体的食物选择部分取决于他们对各种食物热量值的社会认知。该研究关注了53名男性和82名不同体重类别的女性对各类食物热量含量认知的准确性。女性体重越重，她们认为食物中的热量就越高，而男性体重越重，他们认为食物中的热量就越低。男性和女性都高估了甜点的热量含量，尤其是与肉类和土豆等主菜相比。
