The pie chart shows information about the average percentage of sorts of nutrients in usual foods, which may be potentially harmful if overeaten.
Overall, dinner stands out as the most unhealthy meal in the USA, which means that it has far more unhealthy nutrients than all four others, while lunch stands second, whereas the obesity-threatening compounds in breakfast are almost similar in terms of having sodium, saturated fat, and added sugar; however, snacks contain the most amount of sugar.
In the first given pie chart, we can see information about the sodium content in four types of meals, with dinner having the most, at 43%; coming next is lunch, with 29%, which is the second largest portion of sodium out of all four. Interestingly, both breakfast and snacks contain 14% sodium, the lowest among the four meals.
Secondly, it is the proportion of fat contained in foods. For instance, dinner and lunch have more fat—37% and 26%, respectively—whereas snacks and breakfast contain 21% and 16%, in that order.
The last chart shows the amount of added sugar included in all four types of meals. For example, snacks contain 42%, which means that they have the most sugar than other foods; moreover, dinner’s 23% consists of sugar, meaning its percentage is far lower than that of snacks. However, lunch and breakfast contain sugar in almost similar amounts, with 3% separating them—19% and 16%, respectively.
