exercise bulimia 运动暴食症

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. 

“运动暴食症”指的是人们计算每餐摄入的卡路里，之后对锻炼进行调整，以燃烧掉相同数量的卡路里的强迫行为。

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. 

美国数百万女性饱受运动暴食症的困扰，男性受此困扰的人数要少些。很少有人因此寻求专业帮助。运动暴食症患者做大量锻炼活动，以消耗掉他们摄入的“过量”卡路里。
