People drastically underestimate the
number of calories in their snacks, with experts warning that eating a bag of
crisps every day could lead to a stone of weight gain in a year.
人們大大低估了零食中的卡路里，專家警告，每天吃1包洋芋片可能會導致體重在1年內增加1英石（約6.4公斤）。
A survey of around 2,000 adults found that
around three quarters underestimated the impact of a small reduction could
have. One in ten believed that cutting 200 calories a day would not affect
weight.
一項對大約2000名成年人的調查發現，約4分之3的人低估了少吃一點可能產生的影響。10分之1的人認為，1天減少200卡路里熱量不會影響體重。
When it came to snacks, people struggled,
with 95 percent guessing that half a sharing bag of tortilla chips had 214
calories on average, almost half the true figure of 447.
零食讓人們難以琢磨，95％的人猜測半包墨西哥玉米薄餅的平均熱量為214卡路里，幾乎是真實數字447的一半。
New rules coming into force in October

10月生效的新規定將限制大型商店對高脂肪、高糖和高鹽食品的促銷活動。
