The three pie charts give information about the proportion of sodium, saturated fat and added sugar in the typical meal fo UK adults. Excessive consumption of any of those nutrients is considered to negatively affect one's health. The first two meals of the day, breakfast and lunch, appear to be quite healthy with a relatively even distribution of nutrients. A typical breakfast is the lightest meal of the day, which contains between 13% to 16% of each nutrient. For lunch, people consume between 20% and 28% of nutrients, with added sugar being the lowest and sodium the highest. On the other hand, dinner and snacks appear to be less balanced. Out of all the meals dinner contains the largest proportions of sodium and saturated fat (42 and 39percent of daily intake, respectively). However, when snacking people eat the most added sugar (45 percent ) as well as slightly more sodium and saturated fat than for breakfast. Overall, the first two meals of the day eaten by the adults in UK are relatively balanced and healthy, whereas dinner contains the most sodium saturated fat. Most fo the added sugar is in snack foods.
