Compared to breakfast and snack, people in the USA consume a lesser amount of these two nutrients. Sodium contained in both meals accounts for 14% each, whereas the former meal is richer in saturated fat than the latter one, with 21% and 16% respectively.
In general terms of added sugar, snack contributes the highest consumption by 42%, which nearly doubles the figure for dinner. The quantity of added sugar in lunch and breakfast is significantly lower, with 19% and 16% respectively.
