in snacks.
According to
the charts, all three kinds of nutrients contained in lunch are comparatively higher than in breakfast
. For example
, people take twice as much sodium
at lunch as at breakfast
with 29% and 14% respectively. However
, the gap between the two is much smaller in added sugar
with 19% for the former and 16% for the latter. In addition
, it is interesting that there is an equal amount of saturated fat and added sugar
in breakfast
with 16%.
With respect to dinner and snacks, the former has the largest proportion of sodium
and saturated fat whereas
added sugar
account for the most part in the latter. Consumers in America take the most added sugar
in snacks when their consumption of saturated fat drops to half by 21%. In contrast
, dinner has the least amount of added sugar
of all.Submitted by mizuho_kondo117 on
