Researchers have found that men and women consumed 15 percent more calories when looking at their phones while eating. They also ate more fatty food.

研究发现，吃饭时刷手机，男性和女性都会额外摄入15%的热量，也会摄入更多高脂肪食品。

The groundbreaking study suggests that staring at a phone screen may distract diners from how much food they are actually eating.

这项开创性研究显示，盯着手机屏幕会分散进餐者注意力，让他们忘记自己究竟吃了多少。

‘It may prevent the correct understanding of the brain over the amount of food ingested,’ said researchers who filmed 62 volunteers eating alone.

研究人员拍摄了62名志愿者独自进餐的情况，并说道：“边吃饭边刷手机会让大脑搞不清楚进食量。”

The men and women, aged 18 to 28, were invited to help themselves to a choice of food – ranging from healthy options to soft drinks and chocolate – until they were satisfied. In three trials, the volunteers were recorded eating with no distractions, using a smartphone or reading a magazine.
