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. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The three pie charts below illustrate the proportion of sodium, saturated fat and added
sugar
consumed in the three different meals in the USA, and they are detrimental to health if consumed too much in quantity.
Overall
, it is obvious that the majority of sodium and saturated fat are consumed in dinner
, while
the maximum quantity of added sugar
is eaten in snacks
. In contrast
, breakfast accounted for the smallest percentage of all three unhealthy nutrients.
Sodium consumption is highest in dinner
, and second in lunch, making up 43% and 29% respectively. The proportion of this
type of nutrient in breakfast and snacks
witnessed a similarity, at 14 per cent. Dinner
and lunch are also
the two largest categories in terms of saturated fat with a total of nearly two-thirds. However
, this
kind of unhealthy nutrient is slightly higher in snacks
than in breakfast.
Compared with the other two nutrients, added sugar
has a relatively lower consumption in dinner
, with only just over 20%. It is snacks
that are the greatest source of sugar
intake, at a percentage of 42.Submitted by lyc435937 on
