每天攝入多少卡路里，又需要做多少運動才能消耗掉？這成了不少健身達人每日的必備話題。但如果你因此過度糾結，可能已經患上了“運動暴食癥”。

Exercise bulimia refers to the compulsive behaviour in which people count the calories ingested during a meal, and then tailor a workout to burn off the same number of calories.
“運動暴食癥”指的是人們計算每餐攝入的卡路里，之后對鍛煉進行調整，以燃燒掉相同數量的卡路里的強迫行為。

Exercise bulimia is believed to afflict several million American women and a smaller number of men, few of whom are thought to seek professional help. Exercise bulimics run themselves into the ground to expend the “excess” calories they consume.
美國數百萬女性飽受運動暴食癥的困擾，男性受此困擾的人數要少些。很少有人因此尋求專業幫助。運動暴食癥患者做大量鍛煉活動，以消耗掉他們攝入的“過量”卡路里。

It would not be unusual for an exercise bulimic, for example, to take two hour-long exercise classes a day in addition to running for 40 minutes, swimming for half an hour and biking for an hour.
運動暴食癥患者有時會一天參加兩小時健身課程，此外還要跑步40分鐘，游泳半小時，還要騎行一小時，這種情況并不少見。
