The pie charts illustrate the amount of three nutrients (salt, saturated fat, sugar additive), which excessive consumption of them can lead to disease, in the daily meals of an American. It is shown that the majority of the meals eaten by U.S. people are less than ideal as they contain unhealthily high levels of one or more of the nutrient components above.
Out of the four meals which an average individual in the U.S eaten a day, the dinner is the most concerning as it contains more than one-third of both sodium and saturated triglycerides. In addition, almost a quarter of the nutritional composition of the dinner is carbohydrates. Comparatively, the snacks have relatively low amount of salt but a quarter of their nutrients is fats and almost of half of them is sugar.
Moving on to the lunch, it has similar weightage among the different nutrients, which all of them are close to twenty-five percent. On the contrary, the breakfast is the healthiest meal of a typical American as they contain restricted amount of the three nutrient types, which all of them are lower than one-sixth of the total nutrients.
