再问一下前面一个提问中的疑问：
Fat and salt arevery important parts of a diet. They are required to process the food that weeat, to recover from injury and for several other bodily functions. When fatand salt are removed from food, the food tastes as if it is missingsomething. As a result, people will eat more food to try to make up for that something missing.Even worse, the amount of fast food that people eat goes up. Fast food is fullof fat and salt；by eating more fastfood people will get more salt and fat than they need in their diet.
请问句中的makeup for可去掉for换成make up吗？
虽然在肯定语境下，make up sth 和make up for sth都有类似“弥补”的意思，但你这里是没办法替换的，由于弥补的方法和目的不同。
先看makeup sth:
make up 的弥补，主如果由于数目/含量/份量的不足而弥补。注意，是数目的“不足”而不是东西的“缺失”。
再看makeup for sth：
看到没，由于某种东东的缺失（lost）而替代，所以它的近义词是补偿（compensate）。
打个比方，假设你是老板，我这个下属为你背锅，导致我损失100元，假如：
1）你补给我100元，这是补足——金额不足，差多少，补多少---- make up sth;
2）你放我10天有薪假外带免费欧洲10日游，这是补偿——碗里的损失，锅里补---- make up for sth
目前你回过头再看你的文章，eat more food是什么原因，是由于fatand salt的份量/摄入量不足（make up sth），还是由于somethinghas been lost（make up for）？
一家之言，仅供参考；
勤查英英，还需仔细。
