The charts below show the average percentages in typical meals of three types of nutrients, all of which may be unhealthy if eaten too much.
The three pie charts illustrate the proportion of three nutrients (
sodium
, saturated fat, and added sugar
) in typical meals
which are consumed by people in the USA. Excessive consumption may affect one’s health negatively.
Overall
, the first two meals
of the day, which are breakfast
and lunch
, are likely to be healthy rather than dinner
and snacks. Moreover
, it is clear that
dinner
contains the highest of sodium
and saturated fat, whereas
people will obtain a lot of added sugar
when snacking.
According to
the pie charts, breakfast
and lunch
seem to be quite healthy meals
, with a relatively even distribution of nutrients. Breakfast
is the lightest meal which contains sodium
, saturated fat and added sugar
around 14 to 16 per cent
. Similarly
, people consume between 19 to 29 per cent
of each nutrient when having lunch
, with added sugar
representing the lowest and sodium
showing the highest.
On the other hand
, dinner
and snacks appear to be unhealthy meals
and less balanced. The figures experience that dinner
contains the highest both sodium
and saturated fat, which accounted for 43 per cent
and 37 per cent
, respectively. However
, added sugar
in dinner
(23 per cent
) is higher than those in breakfast
and lunch
as well. For snacks, there is 42 per cent
of added sugar
contained and this
percentage makes the highest contribution.Submitted by Taninnuch.tha on
