The chart shows the average percentages in typical meals of three types of nutrients, all of which may be unhealthy if eaten too much. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The three pie charts reveal the average percentages of sodium, saturated fat, and added sugar in the staple diet consumed in the USA. Interestingly, all these nutrients can wreak havoc on an individual’s health if consumed beyond a prescribed limit. On closer inspection, the data suggests that breakfast contains the lowest proportion of all three nutrients. Whereas, lunch and dinner have a higher concentration of sodium and saturated fat. Snacks, as expected, has more of added sugar than any other meal. Firstly, sodium constitutes 43 % of dinner and decreases to 23 % for lunch. Breakfast and snacks share the same amount of this nutrient; 14 % each. Secondly, saturated fat makes up 37 % of supper and 26 % of the mid-day meal, and this is closely followed by snacks or treats, which contribute 21 % of it. Surprisingly, breakfast is packed with merely 16 % of fat. Finally, sugar has the highest concentration in light meals; at a staggering 42 %. The evening meal adds another 23 %, followed by lunch and breakfast at 19 % and 16 %, respectively.
