pie charts showing nutritional intake of americans QwXVw
The three pie charts depict the percentage of sodium, saturated fat and added sugar consumed by Americans in their daily diet. These nutrients, if taken in excess, can result in health problems like heart attack and obesity. The pie chart provides data on the intake of nutrients at breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks.
Overall, it is evident from the charts that, larger quantities of all three nutrients are consumed during dinner, which constitutes 43% of sodium, 37% of saturated fat and 23% of added sugar. This is followed by lunch, where the figures are 29, 26 and 19 for sodium, fat and sugar respectively.
It can be seen that during breakfast all the constituents are taken in similar proportions, that is, 14% of sodium and 16% of the other two. Whereas, these numbers are more random in the case of snacks, where 42% of the total added sugar and just 14% sodium are contributed by snacks.
