If we look at two different foods here, broccoli and the brownie on the right, they're of course much different in calories but they're different in other ways.

让我们看看两种不同的食物,左边花椰菜,右边布朗尼蛋糕,它们除了卡路里含量不同,还有其他差别

So if you were starving and you really needed energy, that is your body needed calories, it needed usable energy in order to survive, the broccoli's not going to do you much good and the brownie would be terrific.

假如你快饿死了,实在需要能量,那是你的身体需要卡路里,身体需要可利用的能量去支撑,花椰菜这时就没多大帮助了,布朗尼蛋糕才是首选

But if you have enough energy, or you have too much energy stored in your body and body fat, then the brownie's not such a good idea because it provides too much, and of course not nearly the nutrients that the broccoli would provide.

但如果你的身体能量充沛,或者能量过多,体态肥胖,那么布朗尼提供过多热量,不是首选,提供的营养素也不及花椰菜
