The charts below show what percentage of their daily intake of various nutrients the average person in the USA consumes in each meal and in snacks. These nutrients may be unhealthy if eaten too much. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant
The given information is in the form of a collection of 3 pie charts each indicating the percentage of how much each nutrient is consumed in each meal by an average person in the USA. The given data can be summarized as follows.
Firstly, maximum consumption of sodium occurs at dinner. 43% of total daily sodium intake is consumed during dinner, whereas the consumption of sodium in lunches is relatively lower at 29%. The remainder of 28% is consumed equally in during breakfasts and snacks. Thus, at 14% each, snacks and breakfast mark the lowest consumption of sodium.
Secondly, the percentage of saturated fat consumed at dinner, at 37%, is lower than that of sodium. Even then, dinner still marks the highest consumption of the concerned nutrient, in this case, saturated fats. Similarly, the second-highest consumption of saturated fats i. e. % occurs at lunch. Unlike sodium, the consumption of saturated fats via breakfast and snacks is not the same. Snacks allow consumption of 21% of the daily saturated fat, as opposed to just 16% at breakfast.
Finally, in line with the upward trend of consumption during snacks, the highest percentage of added sugar, at 42%, is consumed during snacks. Another reduction in dinner consumption of nutrients is observed as consumption of added sugar via dinner reaches 23%. At 16%, the percentage of added sugar consumed during breakfast is the same as that of saturated fat. Lunch marks a consumption of 19% of the total daily added sugar intake.
Thus, from the given data it is evident that as we go on in our day the percentage consumption of each nutrient increases from breakfast to dinner, except for added sugar which shows a premature peak at snacks.
The
given
information is in the form of a collection of 3 pie charts each indicating the
percentage
of how much each
nutrient
is
consumed
in each meal by an average person in the USA. The
given
data can
be summarized
as follows.
Firstly
, maximum
consumption
of sodium occurs at
dinner
. 43% of total daily sodium intake is
consumed
during
dinner
, whereas the
consumption
of sodium in lunches is
relatively
lower at 29%. The remainder of 28% is
consumed
equally
in during
breakfasts
and
snacks
.
Thus
, at 14% each,
snacks
and
breakfast
mark the lowest
consumption
of sodium.
Secondly
, the
percentage
of
saturated
fat
consumed
at
dinner
, at 37%, is lower than that of sodium. Even then,
dinner
still
marks the highest
consumption
of the concerned
nutrient
,
in this case
,
saturated
fats
.
Similarly
, the second-highest
consumption
of
saturated
fats
i. e.
% occurs at lunch. Unlike sodium, the
consumption
of
saturated
fats
via
breakfast
and
snacks
is not the same.
Snacks
allow
consumption
of 21% of the daily
saturated
fat
, as opposed to
just
16% at breakfast.
Finally
, in line with the upward trend of
consumption
during
snacks
, the highest
percentage
of
added
sugar
, at 42%, is
consumed
during
snacks
. Another reduction in
dinner
consumption
of
nutrients
is observed
as
consumption
of
added
sugar
via
dinner
reaches 23%. At 16%, the
percentage
of
added
sugar
consumed
during
breakfast
is the same as that of
saturated
fat
. Lunch marks a
consumption
of 19% of the total daily
added
sugar
intake.
Thus
, from the
given
data it is evident that as we go on in our day the
percentage
consumption
of each
nutrient
increases from
breakfast
to
dinner
,
except for
added
sugar
which
shows
