average percentage of sodium, saturated fat, and added sugar OlBdE
The given pie charts depict the proportions of three nutrients (sodium, saturated fat, and added sugar) in a typical American meal, which affect individual’s health negatively if consumed excessively.
Overall, it’s obvious that dinner contains the highest percentage of sodium and saturated fat. Moreover, snacks as expected hold the biggest portion of added sugar, while breakfast has the lowest amount of each nutrient.
The first two meals of the day, breakfast and lunch, appear healthy meals with relatively even distribution of nutrients. Starting with sodium, lunch include nearly twice as much as breakfast. Additionally, lunch comes first with 26% of saturated fat, whereas breakfast is only 16%. Lastly, both of the meals hold a slight amount of added sugar with less than one-fifth.
On the other hand, dinner and snacks present imbalanced ratios. Significantly, around two-thirds of added sugar intake through dinner and snacks. Furthermore, both meals contain nearly the same portions of sodium and saturated fat combined.
