对肥胖和超重的研究测量了所选择或消耗的食物中的实际热量。然而，如果体重是一个问题，个人的食物选择部分取决于他们对各种食物卡路里值的社会看法。这项研究涉及不同体重类别的53名男性和82名女性对各种食物卡路里含量的感知的准确性。女性体重越重，她们在食物中感知到的卡路里越多，而男性体重越重，她们在食物中感知到的卡路里越少。男性和女性都高估了甜点的卡路里含量，特别是与肉类和土豆等主菜相比。
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.
