The bar chart illustrates the frequency of fast food consumption in the USA between 2003 and 2013.

Overall, most Americans consumed fast food once a week or once or twice a month. Besides, there was a downward trend in the proportions of Americans eating fast food on a daily basis and Americans who never ate fast food.

As can be seen in the bar chart, the percentage of American citizens who ate fast food everyday decreased from nearly 5% to nearly 3% over the ten-year-period. Moreover, the figure for that at the bottom of the charts also witnessed a slight decrease (from 5% to 4%) in the frequency of eating at fast food restaurants among people in the USA from 2003 to 2013.

Regarding the proportions of Americans who rarely included fast food in their diet, the figure significantly increased from 30% to over 36%, and the figure for people who consumed even less fast food at restaurants also went up from over 10% to 15% over the ten-year-period.
