The given pie charts provide information about the average proportions in four typical meals of three different kinds of nutrients (Sodium, Saturated fats, and added sugars), the overconsumption of which can have pernicious effects on health.
Overall, it is evident that while the levels of sodium and saturated fat in dinner are the highest, the opposite is true for breakfast. Meanwhile, snack contains the highest proportion of added sugar amongst the four examined meals.
According to the charts, dinner and lunch have the largest proportions of both sodium (43% for dinner and 29% for lunch) and saturated fat (37% for dinner and 26% for lunch). In contrast, the figures for added sugar in an average meal for dinner and lunch are much lower, with 23% and 19% respectively.
With regards to snacks and breakfast, they are both made up of 14% sodium. As for saturated fats, the average percentage in snacks is 21%, slightly higher than that in breakfast, at 16%. In terms of added sugars, a considerable disparity can be seen in the figures for snacks and breakfast, with 42% for the former and only 16% for the latter.
