A survey showed that the average woman tells almost 500 lies a year about her eating and drinking habits, the Daily Mail reported.

Favorite untruths include, "It was only a small portion" after eating a large meal, and "I'll have a big lunch so I won't eat much after this", when they know they will have an afternoon of sugary treats and fatty foods.

Chocolate is the food that women are most likely to lie about, followed by crisps and cake.

For drinking, the "I had only one glass" line is frequently served up after an entire bottle of wine has been polished off.

據英國《每日郵報》報道，研究發現，每個女性平均一年要說近500個關于吃喝習慣的謊言。

其中，最愛說的謊言包括：吃了一頓大餐后會說，“我就吃了那么一點兒”。當知道會有高糖、高油脂的下午茶時會說，“我中午要大吃一頓，所以一會我不會吃太多”。

尤其在面對巧克力時，女性最有可能說謊，其次是薯條和蛋糕。

在飲酒方面，女性通常在喝完整整一瓶葡萄酒后會說，“我只喝了一杯酒”。
