Daily intake of sodium, saturated fat and added sugar consumed by a person in meals and snacks in the USA
Daily intake of sodium, saturated fat and added sugar consumed by a person in meals and snacks in the USA yV8r
The above pie charts illustrate the average intake of sodium, saturated fat and added sugar by an average person in the USA in their daily meals and snacks. In the first chart of sodium, we see that 14% is consumed in both breakfast and snacks, 29% at lunch and 43% at dinner. The second chart of saturated fat states that 16% is consumed in breakfast, 26% at lunch, 21% in snacks and 37% at dinner. And the third chart of added sugar represents that 16% is taken in breakfast, 19% at lunch, 23% at dinner and 42% in snacks. If we compare sodium and saturated fat charts then these two are maximumly consumed at dinner which can be a bad effect on the person's body since dinner shouldn't have much sodium and fats. And coming to added sugar then it is maximum consumed in snacks which can be reduced because not always added sugars are good for health. Overall, at breakfast time, we see lesser percentage for all three. And also at lunch, sodium and saturated fat are bit high but added sugar is maintaining its level to 19% which is indeed bit better. Thus, the person should make sure to take all three in equal proportions at all times so that they can maintain good health. Also, make sure that all these three should be taken minimally at the time of snacks and mainly dinner since not much exercise is been done at that particular time.
