The pie charts compare the proportions of three unhealthy nutrients consumed by the average resident in the USA in each meal and in
snacks
in a day.
Overall
, sodium
and saturated fat reveal similar patterns, whereas
added sugar shows a different one.
People
in the US consume the largest proportion of sodium
and saturated fat in dinnertime, at 43 and 37% respectively, followed by lunch, both at just under 30%. Regarding sodium
, the percentages of breakfast and snacks
in which people
intake it were both the same, representing 14%. In terms of saturated fat, the proportion of people
who intake the kind of fat in snacks
is 21% and in breakfast is 16%.
In comparison, added sugar is consumed the most in snacks
, which is 42%. Then
the figure is subsequently
followed by dinner and lunch, at 23% and 19% respectively though these are much smaller than the other two nutrients. By contrast
