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 pie charts illustrate the proportion of
sodium
, saturated fat, and added sugar
eaten in the USA for their daily diet and it may be harmful to their health if over-consumed.

they eat the least proportion at breakfast.
According to
the chart, a significant amount of sodium
, saturated fat, and added sugar
was taken by Americans for their dinner, figures of 43%,37% and 23% respectively. However
, they used considerably less proportion of these nutrients in their breakfast, which comprised 14% sodium
, 16% saturated fat, and added sugar
.
In addition
,it can be noticed that in snack time more than two-fifths (42%) of added sugar
was consumed in the USA, when they used less sodium
(14%), and saturated fat (16%) in their main diet. On the other hand
, they maintain an approximately balanced meal at lunchtime which contains 29% of sodium
, 26% of saturated fat, and just under a fifth (19%) of added sugar
