超級減肥王飲食分析

Although I've only seen part of one episode of the TV show "The Biggest Loser", I've been curious about the Biggest Loser Diet I've been hearing about. I was sure it is low in calories, but how were the calories distributed? In particular, did contestants cut down their carb intake? To aid me in my research, I took the description of the Biggest Loser Diet in Prevention magazine, and created menus for three different days of the diet.

雖然我只看過電視節目“最大的輸家”的片段，但是我一直對關於我聽到的超級減肥王感到好奇。我確信它是低熱量的，但熱量如何分佈？特別是，參賽選手要減少碳水化合物的攝入量嗎?爲了促進我的研究，在美國預防雜誌上我對超級減肥王飲食進行了說明,創建了三天飲食不重樣的菜單。

I tried to choose menus that I thought would be typical when following the guidelines, and deliberately avoided making choices that were the highest or lowest in carbs in each category. Here's what I found out about the Biggest Loser Diet:

在遵循指導方針的情況下，我試着選出了我認爲比較典型的菜單，在每個分類中，刻意去避免選擇碳水化合物高或低的食物。這就是我在超級減肥王飲食中的發現:

1) Calories: The diet has about 1100 calories per day

1）卡路里：該食譜中，每天飲食中攝取大概1100卡路里

2) Carbohydrate: The menus I chose were between 88 and 120 grams of carbohydrate per day, which was between 42% and 53% of the calories. The diet does not allow any added sugar, refined grains, or potatoes, so most people would be eating a diet that is somewhat lower in carbs, and much less glycemic than the way most people eat.

2）碳水化合物：我選的菜單裏，碳水化合物每天攝取88至120克，等於攝取42-53%的熱量。食譜中不允許添加糖、細糧或者土豆，所以大多數人吃的這頓飯，有含量很低低的碳水化合物、比大多數人攝取更少的血糖。

3) Protein: The diet is relatively high in protein. The menus I chose were between 100 and 120 grams of protein per day, which was between 35% and 46% of the calories.

3）蛋白質：飲食中蛋白質相對較高，我選的菜單是蛋白質每天攝取100-120克， 等於攝取35%-46%的熱量。

4) Fat: The diet is very low in fat. The highest fat day was the one where salmon was included; that one had 20 grams of fat at 16% of calories. Other days were around 12% fat.

4）脂肪：飲食中脂肪含量很低，每天最高的脂肪攝取量是一隻鮭魚含有的脂肪量；一隻鮭魚含 20克脂肪和16%的熱量，其他天大約是12%的脂肪。
