The pie charts illustrate the average percentages of three types of nutrients in typical meals, which may be unhealthy if consumed in excess. These minerals are presented in percentages.
The first diagram shows the average percentage of sodium intake by Americans with dinner containing the highest ratio of sodium (43%) falling moderately to 29% at a lunch time. Brunch and snacks include an equal ratio of Na, which is 14% each. The second chart presents the portion of saturated fats in meals. By eating dinner, Americans consume 37% of fatty acid, which is the highest among the meal types. Whereas snacks and meal are fluctuating marginally staying at 21% and 26% respectively. The final diagram illustrates the proportion of sugar in food. Snacks contain the highest ratio of it 42%. A typical supper includes 23% of it while brunch remained the same at 16%.
To sum up citizens of America eat less nutrients during their breakfast but they consume a large portion of them while eating their lunch and supper. The snacks also contain these nutrients in plenty and distribution suggests that while typical meals are carbohydrate-heavy, snacks tend to be higher in fats, which could pose health risks if consumed excessively.
